Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Low Carb Mug Cake
Ingredients:
1 T. Coconut flour
1 T. Almond flour
2 T. Peanut butter flour
1 ½ T. sweetener of your choice
1 T. Almond or Coconut Milk
1 T. sugar-free chocolate chips
1 egg
1 ½ T. Coconut oil
¼ tsp. Vanilla extract
¼ tsp. Baking soda
Directions:
Spray a small coffee mug to coat with non-stick cooking spray ( I like to use coconut oil spray).
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add wet ingredients, mix well by hand, finally fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop batter into your prepared mug.
Place in microwave for 45 seconds, check your cake top, continue cooking for 10 seconds at a time until the top is moist but not wet like batter. 45 seconds to 1 minute 10 seconds should do it, watch it closely to avoid overcooking.
Enjoy your individual portion of cake as it is or adds a scoop of sugar-free whipped topping for a really indulgent surprise.
