Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons almond or oat flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or coconut sugar
- 1 egg or flax egg
- 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In an 8–12 oz microwave-safe mug, stir together 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (if using), ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter, 2 tablespoons milk of choice, 1–2 tablespoons sweetener, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
- Add optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or berries if desired.
- Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, until the cake is risen and springs back to touch.

Notes
Avoid overmixing for best texture. Adjust sweetener to taste. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant milk. Try adding a spoonful of peanut butter in the center for a molten surprise.
