If you’re looking for a light, single-serving after-dinner cake, here’s an easy version around 90–110 calories depending on the ingredients.
🍰 90-Calorie Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients
-
2 tbsp oat flour — about 25 calories
-
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder — about 10 calories
-
1 tbsp granulated sweetener — 0 calories if using a zero-calorie sweetener
-
¼ tsp baking powder
-
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk — about 3–5 calories
-
1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce — about 7 calories
-
½ tsp vanilla extract — about 3 calories
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug.
-
Stir in the almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla until you have a smooth batter.
-
Microwave for 40–60 seconds, depending on your microwave. Stop when the center is just set.
-
Let it stand for 1 minute before eating.
Optional topping
Add a few fresh berries or a teaspoon of light yogurt. Keep in mind that toppings will increase the calorie count.
Tip: Don’t overcook it. A few extra seconds in the microwave can turn a small mug cake from soft and fudgy into something dry and rubbery.
The calorie estimate is approximate and depends on the specific brands and sweetener you use.
