Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (melt in the microwave for 30 seconds in the mug that you will use for the cake)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp oat beverage or nut beverage alternative
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (make with only 1 tbsp if you are looking for something less sweet)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose gluten-free flour 
  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • ¼ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • In an 8-15 oz mug (standard size) whisk together the oil, vanilla, oat beverage, maple syrup and egg.
  • Add flour, cocoa and baking powder. Mix until there are no clumps and the batter is well combined.
  • Microwave for 1-1.5 minutes. The cake will rise out of the mug while cooking - don't be alarmed.
  • Add desired toppings - icing, sprinkles, whipped cream, fruit or nut butters.
  • Enjoy!
