Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melt first if solid
  • pinch kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds slices
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the honey, milk (or almond milk), and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
  • In a small bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut sugar until well mixed to make the filling.
  • Divide half of the chocolate batter among four microwave-safe mugs (about a spoonful each), then add about 1 tablespoon of the almond butter mixture into the center of each mug.
  • Top each with the remaining batter so the filling is covered, then sprinkle slivered almonds evenly over the tops.
  • Cover each mug with a paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute. Check doneness and microwave an additional 10–20 seconds if needed; avoid overcooking.
  • Let the mug cakes cool for a few minutes before serving.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoons

Notes

  • Use melted coconut oil so it blends easily with the batter.
  • Adjust microwave time as wattage varies.
  • Use almond milk for a dairy-free option.
