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
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon GF vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips + a few for the top optional
  • whipped cream or ice cream 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!
