Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large egg
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp preferred sweetener, I like using a little bit of raw honey, but if you are not used to making anything low carb you might prefer to start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
2 large eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup walnut pieces, finely chopped
4 dark chocolate chips
Fresh fruit, for serving, if desired

Steps:

Put the coconut oil in a medium bowl. (If it's solid, microwave if first for a few seconds to melt.) Whisk in the eggs, maple syrup or agave and vanilla until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and salt and whisk again until completely smooth. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.
Scrape the batter into a 12-ounce (or larger) ceramic coffee mug. Microwave on high until the cake is cooked through and peeks over the rim of the mug, about 80 seconds. (Every microwave is different, so watch it as it cooks.). Top with some fruit if you'd like and serve right away.
