Healthy self-saucing chocolate mug cakes
If you’re anything like me, then colder weather means craving for comfort food (read: pudding) but little motivation to faff about in the kitchen. So here’s a quick and easy recipe to deliver delicious pudding in less than 5 mins with minimal washing up, that is also relatively waistline-friendly. Doesn’t look too flash (it is a pudding in a mug after all) but I guarantee it will be tasty.
Ingredients
- 3 tbs plain flour (I often use half and half coconut flour)
- 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbs rice malt syrup
- 2 tbs low fat yoghurt
- 2 tbs milk
- 1 egg
- 2 squares good quality dark eating chocolate
Method
- Place all ingredients except the chocolate squares into a small mixing bowl and combine thoroughly. I find beating with a fork works best to break up any lumps.
- Pour batter into a mug and push the squares of chocolate into the mixture. Microwave in 30s bursts until the cake has risen and cooked but is still gooey in the middle.
- Dust with icing sugar or top with cream/fruit to serve or simply enjoy as is.
