Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- 1 tbsp almond butter (or any other nut or seed butter)
- 1½ tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- ⅓ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- Extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine Greek yogurt, almond butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the all-purpose flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is fully combined and free of lumps.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips gently into the batter. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for an extra gooey finish.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds, adjusting based on your microwave's power. The cake should be set in the center but moist and fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake rest for 1 to 2 minutes after microwaving to allow it to cool slightly and the chocolate chips to melt perfectly. Enjoy directly from the mug.
Notes
- This recipe is easily customizable with different nut butters or non-dairy milks to suit your preferences.
- Watch carefully when microwaving to avoid overcooking, which can make the cake dry.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt and maple syrup that is certified vegan.
- This mug cake is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest texture and gooey chocolate.
