Chocolate Mug Cake

So its Sunday and I'm craving a treat, at the moment I am really trying to curb my sugar problems and keep warm. I grew up on a farm and we had one of those traditional wood stoves, as a child in winter my family and I would huddle around the fire and have pudding for dinner, so feeling cold, like I need chocolate and missing my Mum, I came up with the following non fire stove needing healthy mug cake recipe. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Ingredients
2 TBS Butter - I used Flora as it is low in fat
1 TBS LSA Meal
2 TBS Brown Rice Flour, sifted
1 tsp Coconut Flour, sifted
1.5 TBS Stevia
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence
1 TBS Cocoa  Powder, sifted
1/2 tsp Baking Powder, sifted
1 Square 85% Lindt Chocolate, broken or chopped
1 tsp Natvia Sugar Free Hot Chocolate
1/4 Cup Water, boiled

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in the microwave, it takes approximately 30-40 seconds.

Step 2
Mix all ingredients in your cup, except for the water and sugar free hot chocolate.

Step 2 
Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, whilst this is cooking mix sugar free hot chocolate with boiled water.

Step 3 
Pour the sugar free hot chocolate mix over the pudding, cook for another 30 seconds.

You can eat it from the cup or tip it out onto a plate or bowl like I did. If you are feeling good serve with Greek Yoghurt, if you are feeling naughty with cream or ice cream and a dash of maple syrup. Either way you can always make yourself feel better by focusing on the good fats and fibre from the LSA meal and Phytonutrients from the Cocoa and of course its sugar free, gluten free and dairy free.
