It’s almost weekend, let’s have some midweek fun with Chocolate Mug Cake, gluten-free, dairy free and paleo! 🍫😋❤️🌺

It’s so simple, just 5 mins prep and no baking requirement. All you need is your favorite mug and a microwave. You like what you hear so far? 😉

Okay now use your measuring cup:

1. One egg/vegan egg.

2. Two tbsp of almond flour.

3. One-two tbsp of maple syrup (up to you how sweet you want).

4. One tsp of coconut oil and vanilla extract.

5. Two tbsp of cacao powder.

Stir well in your mug and microwave for 1-2 minutes (Mine was 1min and 10 sec). I love to have with strawberries and crushed hazelnuts. Voila! You just made yourself a yummy chocolate mug cake. 😋❤️

*For Carbohydrates concern, I’ll include my exact calculation: One egg is 0.6g, 1 tsp of coconut oil is 0.6g, 1 tsp vanilla extract is 0.5g and 1 tbsp maple syrup is 13g, cacao is 20g carbs, almond is 4.8g. Total will be 39.5g carbs.

If you want extra savory, you can add 1 tbsp of chocolate chips (I love dark chocolate so you can see it’s very dark almost black) which is 8g carbs. So the maximum carbs will be 47.5g😁👍

I find this is such a fun activity for many of us to have a party with friends and family also, all we need to do is providing our healthy and delicious ingredients. 🥳🎉🎈

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Hi Koko,

This looks and sounds fantastic as a nice Summer time dessert/snack. I will try it out hopefully this coming weekend. I will check if we have the ingredients here at the house. Thank you so much for sharing this idea with all of us today. :-)

Hi Leah, Thank you so much for saying that! 🤗🙏

It’s so much fun to make it and yummy too. I like crushed nuts for toppings instead of powdered sugar. Hope you can find time to gather the ingredients and treat yourself some nice chocolate mug cake this weekend! 😸👍

We have some walnuts and peanuts in the house. I just have to see about the rest of the ingredients before I can do anything for the rest of the mug cake. :-)

Let me know how it turns out after you get a chance to try it! 😁👍

I love dark chocolate as well😁. Packed with antioxidants and high in nutrients like magnesium. This looks delicious and as healthy as a chocolate cake can be👌. Thanks for sharing🙏🤗.

That Koko looks like a delectable dessert and an excellent pick me up for the middle of the week. And it sounds pretty straightforward to make too; anything that finishes cooking in a microwave is a win in my book 👏

in reply to Kainan

Hi Kainan, yes it’s so convenient and with healthy choices in mind you can have your homemade chocolate mug cake. 😋👍

Hope you have a great evening with some delicious treat! 😁

Based on the quantity of ingredients alone, not even a dollar. But you can’t put a price on tlc

in reply to Kainan

Kainan, majorly wrong answer. You won’t get a like and on top, access is denied permanently. 🤷‍♀️

Koko, do explain how using tbsps of what your using equate to anything more than a dollar? 🤷‍♂️
