Chocolate Lava Mug Cake

Gooey chocolate lava mug cake, ‘nough said. Made for one and ready in about 25 minutes from start to finish, we’ve tried to make this as “least-naughty” as possible. That’s why we’ve added chocolate protein powder into the mix and omitted any additional sugars or sweeteners.

Not only is it quick and easy to make, this gooey chocolate mug cake recipe is totally adaptable to your dietary requirements too. It’s a plant-based recipe but the oil can be substituted for butter if you prefer.

Enjoy and let us know how you go!

Ingredients

1/4 cup chocolate buttons plus 4 extra buttons
1/4 cup coconut oil/butter or vegan butter - up to you
1/2 cup hazelnut milk (made using our Hazelnut Mylk Base)
1/4 cup flour - we used gluten free
1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
optional - 1 tbsp cacao (depending on how decadent you want it to be)
Pinch of salt

Steps

Preheat your oven to 180°C

Melt the chocolate and oil/butter in a small bowl

Add milk and mix well

Add dry ingredients and stir until smooth

Pour into a mug or small ceramic bowl

Add remaining chocolate buttons into the centre of the batter

Bake for 15 minutes

Devour as is, or serve with dollop of ice cream or yogurt

You can cook in a microwave. We just don't have one so couldn't test it out, but you could cook on high for about 60 seconds, depending on your microwave
