Ingredients

1 tablespoon almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour or whey protein powder for low-FODMAP
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream or nut milk

1 tablespoon raw cacao powder or regular unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sweetener I use a 50/50 blend of powdered stevia and monk fruit sweetener
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or oil to grease ramekin

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Grease a 4 inch ramekin, large mug or pint mason jar.
In a small mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Pour batter into the prepared ramekin.
Microwave for 60 seconds on high.
Handle carefully (it's hot!), let cool and add your favorite topping (like my favorite sugar-free chocolate syrup). Dig in!

Notes

For a low-FODMAP mug cake - use whey protein powder (not whey protein isolate) or use two additional tablespoons of almond flour.

As the cake is cooking in the microwave, it will rise considerably. No worries - it will fall just a little as soon as it's finished cooking.

Variations

Mix in and top with ChocZero Milk Chocolate Chips or Lily's Milk Chocolate Chips
Add some berries to the batter
Try different extracts such as almond extract, pistachio, orange or peppermint
Spoonful of nut butter, or sugar-free jam in the center
Add a pinch of spice to the batter: cinnamon, pepper, chili, chipotle or masala

Serving suggestions
