Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake For Two
This little mug of magic gives you all the warm, chocolatey feels - it's the perfect balance of indulgence and mindful eating wrapped up in a cozy mug.
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar brown, coconut, or granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Liquid Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk like almond or soy
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened plain or cinnamon applesauce
- 2 tablespoons nut butter almond or peanut butter, chunky or creamy
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips I like to use Enjoy Life brand
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients In a Mug: In one large mug or ramekin (12-16 ounces) add all of the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Add In Wet Ingredients: Add all wet Ingredients (except vegan chocolate chips) and stir until you have a smooth batter, making sure there are no dry flour clumps at the bottom.
- Add Add-Ins: Gently fold in vegan chocolate chips along with any optional add-ins (see Notes for ideas).
- Microwave: Place your mug in your microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes and 10 seconds. The middle may be gooey but don't worry, it'll continue to cook as it sits. Carefully remove (the mug may be hot!), and let sit for 1–2 minutes.
- Top & Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite topping like cinnamon, powdered sugar, walnuts, or a drizzle of vegan cream cheese frosting.
Notes
Optional add-ins (mix in before microwaving):
- Vegan chocolate chips – for melty pockets of goodness
- Chopped walnuts or pecans – adds crunch and richness
- Chopped dark chocolate – more decadent than chocolate chips
- Espresso powder – just a pinch boosts the chocolate flavor
- Orange zest – for a citrusy twist
- Crushed freeze-dried raspberries or strawberries – tart + sweet contrast
- Coconut whipped cream
- Fresh berries or sliced banana
- Drizzle of peanut butter – warm it slightly for easy pouring
- Chopped dark chocolate or mini chips – they’ll melt right on top
- Sprinkle of flaky sea salt – makes the chocolate flavor pop
- Chopped nuts or toasted coconut flakes – for crunch
- Crushed pretzels or graham crackers – sweet and salty vibes
- Dusting of cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, or powdered sugar – for a café feel
