Chocolate Matcha Mug Cake
Recipe by Chef Amanda Huang
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 6 tbsp milk (dairy/non-dairy)
- 1 heaping tbsp of dark chocolate chips
- 40 g Matcha Green Tea Granola
Preparation:
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Whisk in the maple syrup, oil, and milk until all ingredients are combined and batter has no clumps.
- Pour batter into a standard-sized microwave-safe mug (330 ml capacity).
- Drop in dark chocolate chips (you don’t need to push them into the batter).
- Place a paper towel into the microwave and set the mug on top (this is to catch any batter if your mug cake overflows).
- Microwave mug cake for 60 seconds on ‘High’.
- Carefully remove from microwave and top with Matcha Green Tea Granola and any fresh fruits if desired. Enjoy!
