    This Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake takes just five minutes - and it's so good!

    The folks at Manini’s Gluten Free, makers of my favorite fresh GF pasta, sent me some samples of their gluten-free flour blend and asked me to get creative – so I created a microwavable Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake that serves one – me! This chocolatey mug cake is the perfect indulgent after dinner treat. The individual serving size makes it super speedy - you can literally have it in hand in a snap. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a glass of wine, head to the kitchen and whip together this Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake. I can't wait to hear what you think.

    One last thing - you could skip the chocolate chips....but I wouldn’t.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
    • 3 tablespoon gluten-free flour blend I used Manini's
    • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoon cocoa powder

    • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips + a few for the top optional

    Instructions

    • Place the butter or coconut oil in a (microwave safe) mug, and microwave for 30-40 seconds to melt.
      Add in the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips, and stir to thoroughly combine. Then, stir the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving a couple to sprinkle on top.
    • Microwave for 1 minute on high. Check the cake, and cook on high for 30 seconds at a time until done (the total cook time should only be 1 ½ to 2 minutes.)
    • Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired, and dig in!
