Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15 grams (2 tbsp) oat flour (or normal flour)
- 1 tbsp calorie-free granulated sweetener (erythritol)
- 7 grams (2 tsp) cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp coffee powder
- 1/3 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the oat flour and baking powder to the creamy mixture. Then pour in the water and mix well until a smooth batter forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter evenly to create a melty chocolate finish once cooked.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug cake on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power, until the cake is set but still moist.

- You can substitute oat flour with regular all-purpose flour if preferred.
- For a sweeter taste, consider adding a few more chocolate chips or increasing sweetener slightly.
- This recipe is designed for single servings; double the ingredients if you want to make more.
- Adding coffee powder enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if desired.
