Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole-wheat pastry flour

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened plain almond milk

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce

  • ½ tablespoon dairy-free dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  1. Lightly coat a 10-ounce microwaveable mug with cooking spray. Whisk flour, cocoa and baking powder together in a small bowl. Whisk in almond milk, maple syrup and applesauce. Pour the mixture into the prepared mug. Top with dark chocolate chips, if desired.

  2. Microwave on High until the cake is the desired texture, 45 to 60 seconds. (With less cooking time, it will be more like a lava cake; cooking longer will yield a firmer texture.) Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
