Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake

I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but when it hits, it becomes kinda obsessive.

I found this great recipe and it's so simple, fast and delicious, you really can't go wrong with it.



Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake
1 small ripe banana
1 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter)
1 egg
2 heaping Tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons sweetener(optional)
Chocolate chips, walnuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins(optional)
  1. With a fork, mash the banana into a smooth puree.
  2. Mix the almond butter, egg, cocoa powder, and extra sweetener if using into the banana puree until it forms an even batter.
  3. Fold in any mix-ins into the batter that you’d like. Otherwise, pour the batter into a mug or other microwave safe container. Be sure to only fill the container up to 2/3rds the way because it will expand in the microwave.
  4. Microwave on high for 2 and 1/2 minutes until the center is set. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and enjoy hot, cold, or at room temperature.
I served mine on a plate with a little honey and raspberries.  It's simple to get it out of the mug, just flip it over while it's still hot and it should slide right out.



Enjoy!!
