Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil of choice (we used avocado)
- 5 tablespoons milk of choice (we used oat)
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (use dairy-free if vegan)
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- chocolate chips, whipped cream, fresh raspberries, crushed freeze-dried raspberries for topping. optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except for the jam and a couple of the chocolate chips into a small bowl and mix well to combine.
- Divide the batter in half. Transfer about ⅔ of each amount of batter to a microwave-friendly mug. Add the raspberry jam to the center and then cover with the rest of the batter and the remaining chocolate chips.
Microwave
- Microwave on high for 85 seconds.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes (caution: the jam will be very hot) before topping with desired toppings.
- Serve and enjoy.
Airfryer
- If you would prefer to make this in the air fryer then replace the mugs with ramekins that will fit into the basket.
- Follow the rest of the instructions and cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 360F (180C).
Notes
Sugar
I use coconut sugar, but feel free to replace it with a granulated sweetener of choice.
Protein
Make this higher in protein by adding a tablespoon of your favorite protein powder. You will need to add about 1 tablespoon more milk as well.
Storing
Store covered, on the benchtop, for up to one day.
To reheat, simply pop into the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
