30-Second Vegan Chocolate Cake in a Mug

June 11, 2018
I'm writing this immediately after using all my strength to get the final scrapings of chocolate cake from the depths of a sweet little ceramic mug. What I'm trying to say is: This little cake is pretty freaking good. Sometimes you just want cake. Not a cookie, or a chocolatey granola bar...cake. If you're like me, then if you make a cake you're likely to eat a lot (all) of it. Then there's the nuisance of dishes, oven usage, and playing the waiting game. Well! Do I have the thing for you. Got 30 seconds, a mug, and a fork? Then you're set. Not only is this cake the perfect single serving it's also filled with healthy ingredients like: -Oat Flour: Full of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibers. -Cacao powder: Protects nerve cells, helps with cardiovascular health, and even fights insulin resistance. -Coconut Oil: Contains many healthy fats -Maple Syrup: Contains minerals and antioxidants So dig in and eat the whole dang cake, you deserve it!
