Ah, mug cakes... you make my life easier!

I know some people hate microwave cakes, but I'll be honest, I LOVE them!

Mug cakes, like this paleo chocolate chip mug cake, make breakfast time simple and quick. Plus, my kids love them.

They're also great as an after-dinner treat. No need to bake a whole cake - just whip up some batter in a large mug or mini bowl, microwave and enjoy.

Ingredients

Here's what you need to make this chocolate chip mug cake:

  • almond pulp: I used day-old leftover almond pulp from the Almond Cow. Pulp from a nut milk bag should work too.
  • egg: I have not tested an egg substitute for this recipe
  • maple syrup: or any liquid sweetener
  • vanilla extract
  • tapioca flour: needed for texture
  • coconut flour: I added just a little for texture purposes, but this ingredient can be left out.
  • baking powder: I make my own paleo baking powder
  • salt
  • miniature chocolate chips: I love Pascha's miniature 100% dark chocolate chips
