What You Need to Make this Recipe

Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Reference the recipe card at the bottom for exact measurements and the notes below for substitution ideas.

• Flour: I used oat flour and recommend that or using regular or gluten free all purpose flour. I do not recommend almond or coconut flour.
• Maple syrup: feel free to use sweetener of your choice but I love the flavor maple syrup gives this recipe. Coconut sugar, brown sugar, honey, date syrup, liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener are all sweetener options.
• Almond butter or peanut butter: My favorite nut butters are cashew butter and almond butter from Georgia Grinders. Save 20% on your Georgia Grinders almond butter with code “LYNDSEY20”
• Cacao Powder: You can also use cocoa powder or dairy free hot chocolate mix!
• Coconut oil: Try using applesauce if you want an oil free option.
• Dairy Free Chocolate Chips: I like using Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips.

How to Make this Recipe

Below are step-by-step instructions for how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cooking time and temperatures.

This recipe is easy to make in a few simple steps. Grab a large coffee mug and spray it with cooking spray (I prefer coconut oil spray).

From there add all of the ingredients (except for one half of the chocolate chips) into the mug. Mix the ingredients together until they are smooth and resemble brownie batter.

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and microwave for 60-90 seconds, depending on your desired level of gooey-ness.

Topping this vegan mug cake with flaky sea salt is an absolute must! Ice cream, chopped walnuts, yogurt, raspberries, sliced banana, a drizzle of nutella or whipped cream are also excellent toppings.

Expert Tips

• Do not overcook! 60 seconds is the perfect baking time to get a crinkly top and gooey inside. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes and then eat immediately for best and freshest taste.
• Select a wider-base mug, like a latte one. This will help the rising process.
• Make sure ingredients are evenly mixed prior to cooking.
• Lower Fat & Low Calorie recipe: Half the recipe to make a lower calorie serving for one and/or replace use applesauce to make it with no oil and omit almond butter. You may want to add in more water if the batter seems too thick.
• This recipe is made with no milk but if you want to swap in almond or coconut milk for water, go for it!
