Microwave Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake
Vegan chocolate mug cake is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. This vegan dessert is an amalgamation of pudding and cake, creating a gooey, decadent treat that satisfies even the most discerning chocolate lovers. It's so easy to make; you can whip it up in no time using just a few simple ingredients and your trusty microwave. This recipe is heart healthy, gluten free, and delivers 8 grams of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2½ tbsp oat flour
- 1 tbsp cacao, unsweetened
- 1½ tbsp coconut sugar
- 1½ tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract, pure
- 1½ tbsp apple sauce, unsweetened
- 2½ tbsp soy milk, unsweetened
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tbsp coconut oil, cold pressed, organic
Instructions
- Whisk together oat flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, chia seeds and baking powder (dry ingredients) in a small mug.
- Combine apple sauce, soy milk, coconut oil and vanilla (wet ingredients) in a medium ramekin.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ones by whisking them together until fully combined. Just be sure not to overmix!
- Send the mug cake batter to cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes. The time will vary depending on your microwave's wattage.
- When the cake is done, safely remove it from the microwave and let it cool for a couple of minutes before digging in! Add your favourite toppings.
Notes
- I like to use a whisk for combining the dry ingredients because it helps break up any lumps in the oat flour and helps the vegan mug cake rise more evenly.
- You can top the vegan chocolate mug cake with vegan ice cream, whipped cream, berries or even a dollop of peanut butter.
- Substitute the cacao powder for vegan chocolate chips or cocoa nibs to add texture.
- Besides coconut oil, vegan butter or vegan margarine are great alternatives.
