When a chocolate craving hits, waiting an hour for dessert just isn't happening. I've spent over 10 years creating recipes that make everyday favorites a little lighter without giving up the flavor, and this sugar free chocolate mug cake is one of my go-to treats. It's rich, fudgy, ready in minutes, and proof that you don't need a pile of sugar to enjoy a really good chocolate dessert.
Mix all of the dry ingredients in a medium bowl (almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder)
Combine and mix the wet ingredients (egg, vanilla, and melted butter) in a separate bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until fully blended.
Fold in the chocolate chips and stir.
Spray a mug with cooking oil. Add the mixture to the mug.
Microwave for 50 seconds to 1 minute. I timed it for 50 seconds because I wanted a really moist cake. With 1 minute it will be slightly more firm, but still moist.
Whipped Cream (Optional)
Add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add in the sweetener. Mix until whipped cream forms.
