3tbsppaleo baking flour, Can sub 2 tbsp almond flour and 1 tbsp coconut flour
2tbspcacao or cocoa powder
1tbspghee, butter, refined coconut oil, or vegetable oil, melted
2 1/2tbspmaple syrup or honey
1tbspmilk of choice, I use almond milk or 2% milk
1/2tspvanilla extract
1egg
3tbspchocolate chips
Instructions
Add paleo baking flour and cacao powder to an 8 ounce ramekin or 9 or 10 ounce mug. Stir together.
Add oil (or melted ghee), maple syrup (or honey), almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir together until well combined with dry ingredients. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the ramekin or mug because the flour and cacao powder can settle there. You want to make sure everything is mixed in.
Crack one egg into your batter. Whisk thoroughly until well combined. Don't skimp on this step. If your egg isn't completely mixed in you'll end up with pieces of egg whites in the cake and nobody wants that!
Place 3 tbsp of chocolate chips on the top of your batter. Do not stir! Leave them on the top.
Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. When done the top should be slightly sticky. (90 seconds is perfect for my microwave. I recommend starting at 60 seconds and then adding another 10 to 30 seconds if needed. Every microwave is different so you'll need to see what the optimal time is for yours.)
Serve immediately. Top with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, powdered sugar, or fresh berries if you like!
Notes
If you'd like to reduce the calories and the sweetness you can omit the chocolate chips. It is still delicious!I use Bob's Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour for this recipe. You can substitute 2 tbsp almond flour and 1 tbsp coconut flour in place of the paleo baking flour if you like. I have made it with both and you'll love it either way!
