Paleo Double Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients you'll need:

1. 1. Joolies Date Syrup
      • Even though the dates are heated down into a delicious syrup, this doesn't mean you lose any of the vitamins or minerals...hooray! If you're new to using date syrup or a little worried on your baking skills, we just posted a new blog on using syrup in all of your baking adventures. Check it out here!
   2. Coconut Flour
      • A little bit goes a long way! Since coconut flour is high in fiber, it's super absorbent--if your cake batter seems too thick, add in extra dairy-free milk. You can swap for almond flour, but you might need to add a bit more to bind everything.
   3. Cocoa Powder
      
      • This is where we get our yummy chocolate flavor from! You can substitute for raw cacao powder if needed, but we love the ones from Thrive Market and Santa Barbara Chocolate 💕
   4. Coconut Oil 
      • You want this to be melted, so pop it into the microwave for 40ish seconds then pour directly into the mix. As an alternative, you can use avocado oil. 
   5. Eggs
      • This adds structure to the mug cake plus adding some more protein, healthy fat, and vitamins. We recommend using pasture raised eggs so you get that beautiful golden yolk that is full of healthy Omega-3s, choline, and good cholesterol 🍳
   6. Dairy-Free Milk
      • We went with a yummy coconut milk for this one, but use whatever floats your boat! There's oat, almond, macadamia, or other blends that work just the same.
   7. Dark Chocolate Chunks
      • We recommend using a dark chocolate without fillers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and stuff like that (it melts a whole ton easier without it and is much better for your health)! Some of our favorites are Enjoy Life dark chocolate morsels and Hu dark chocolate gems 🍫
