Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tablespoon Mini chocolate chips (optional, sugar-free if desired)
- 1 spritz Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In the mug, combine oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and the sugar substitute. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps.
Step 3
Add almond milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 4
If using, gently fold in mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Step 5
Microwave the mug on high for 40-60 seconds (time may vary depending on your microwave wattage). Check after 40 seconds to avoid overcooking—the cake should rise and look set but still moist.
Step 6
Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying it warm. Optionally, top with a dollop of low-calorie whipped cream or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
