Ingredients
  

1/4 cup almond flour

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (such as erythritol or coconut sugar)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tablespoon almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are mixed properly.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter, making sure there are no lumps. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey delight.

      Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. Keep a close eye on the mug cake as microwave times may vary; it’s ready when the center is set but still slightly moist.

        Cool & Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for a couple of minutes before diving in. You can top it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or your favorite nut butter for an added touch!
