INGREDIENT NOTES:

Flour:

  • Regular all-purpose flour is the one to use. Elevated fiber can also be obtained using oat flour. Do not use almond flour, as this alters the feel.

Cocoa Powder:

  • Apply cocoa unsweetened powder. It provides an intense chocolate taste without additional sweetness.

Sweetener:

  • Do it with any fiber-free sweetener of your choice. Stevia erythritol mixes/monk fruit blends are good.

Applesauce:

  • Does not moisten with oil. It also softens the cake naturally and sweetens it.

Almond Milk:

  • Add unsweetened almond milk/any plant-based milk. It makes the mug cake light.

Vanilla:

  • Gives a warm taste. Do not omit it-it makes a lot of difference in taste.

Toppings:

  • There are some mini chocolate chips melted into the cake. Sliced banana/chopped berries also do fine.
