Double Chocolate Gluten-Free Mug Cake

4 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour
5 tablespoon coconut sugar
3 tablespoon cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
pinch sea salt
In a separate bowl stir together:
3 tablespoon almond milk
3 tablespoon melted pastured butter (or coconut oil, but the butter gives it a better flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, slightly beaten
For topping:
A handful of (good quality) dark chocolate chips (about 2 heaping tablespoons)
Combine the two mixtures in a glass bowl.
Divide evenly into two mugs. Top each mug with dark chocolate chips (60% cacao) and cover each mug with plastic wrap.

Would this be chocolatey/sweet enough w/o chips?
I don't have any.
Amee Livingston
I like the gooey texture that the chips add, Srishti, but you can try it without. A little ice cream instead would be good on top. 🙂
Rose
Does this recipe work with regular sugar in place of coconut sugar?
Amee Livingston
Yes, Rose, that would be fine to use 🙂
