  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup oat flour

3 tablespoons coconut sugar

2 tablespoons cacao powder

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon fine grain mineral salt

1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy)

3 tablespoons milk of choice

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Mix together all ingredients in a large mug until smooth and well combined.

2. Microwave in 30-second intervals until set in the middle, about 1 minute 30 seconds.

3. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until firm and slightly springy.

4. Let it cool for a minute before serving.

You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne.

For extra gooey texture, press a few chocolate chips into the center before cooking.
