Seasonal Fruit Delight

Instructions

Step 1

Grab a microwave-safe mug and whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Crack in the egg, then add the honey, melted coconut oil, and a splash of vanilla extract. Give everything a good stir until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips so they’re evenly spread throughout. Pop the mug in the microwave and cook for about a minute, or until the top looks puffed and the center is mostly set. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in—it's best enjoyed warm!

Serving Suggestions

Storage Tips

This cake is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave before eating to bring back its soft texture.
