Description

This quick and easy Almond Joy Mug Cake delivers all the flavors of your favorite candy bar in just 2 minutes! Made with simple pantry ingredients, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and perfect for satisfying late-night chocolate cravings. The combination of rich cocoa, nutty almond flour, and sweet coconut creates a moist, decadent single-serving dessert that’s ready in minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon almond flour

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 tablespoon coconut flakes

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 pinch salt


Instructions

In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flakes, and salt. Stir well to mix all dry ingredients. Add maple syrup to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter. If too thick, add a tiny bit more maple syrup. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds (adjust based on your microwave’s wattage – start with 1 minute for high-wattage microwaves). Let cool for 30 seconds before enjoying. The cake will be hot!


Notes

For best results, use a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug. Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage – start with less time and add more if needed. For extra coconut flavor, try using coconut milk instead of additional maple syrup. Top with whipped cream, extra coconut flakes, or a drizzle of chocolate for an extra special treat. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and can be made vegan.
