Description

This Double Chocolate Mug Cake with Greek Yogurt is a quick and easy single-serve dessert that combines the richness of cacao and chocolate chips with the creamy texture of Greek yogurt and almond butter. Ready in under 5 minutes, it’s a healthier, indulgent treat that satisfies chocolate cravings without the fuss of traditional baking.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (or any other nut or seed butter)
  • 1½ tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • ⅓ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips, plus a few extra for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the Greek yogurt, almond butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps and the batter is uniform.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips into the batter. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added gooeyness after cooking.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug cake for 60 to 90 seconds depending on your microwave’s wattage. Cook until the cake is just set in the center but still soft and moist, avoiding overcooking for best texture.
  5. Rest and Serve: Allow the mug cake to sit for 1 to 2 minutes after microwaving. This resting time helps the cake settle and the chocolate chips to melt perfectly, creating a rich, gooey texture ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Almond butter and peanut butter both work well as nut butter options in this recipe.
  • For extra richness, add additional chocolate chips on top before microwaving.
  • Best texture results from slightly undercooking the cake rather than overcooking it.
  • This mug cake can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, extra nut butter, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
