I made you wait for this recipe for far too long because 1) I’m a recovering perfectionist and 2) I’m not recovering.
I’m pretty sure I’ve made this recipe at least 9 times because I wanted it to be absolutely perfect! I tried a combination of almond flour with coconut flour, almond flour without coconut flour, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, two scoops of collagen vs one scoop… Honestly- I’ve tried them all! The conclusion? Not one is better than the other.
They’re all freaking delicious!
Also- all the testing was great for my taste buds but not so much for my chocolate collagen stash. I’m pretty sure Further Food received a purchase for their Chocolate Collagen Peptides with reishi mushrooms purely from all my mug cake testing.
NO regrets though because this recipe is SO good! (and because I used my code to save myself some cash! code: ahealthyharmony)
I’m going to give you the recipe that resembles a lava cake the most – the oven version – but the good news is that you can cook it in the microwave too! All you have to do is cook the mug cake on 50% power for 1 minute before cooking it again on full power for an additional 45-60 seconds.
In regards to the flour situation- use what you like most! My personal favorite was the all-purpose flour or the chickpea flour version. I felt like the almond flour was a bit too oily for my taste. My two cents would be to leave out the coconut oil if you’re going that route!
Lastly- let’s talk pb because if we’re honest, it’s the most important part of the how lava cake. Now, I am a HUGE fan of pb so I have approximately 235252836762 jars in my pantry (slight exaggeration… slight) and the pb that worked the best was the oily kind. Don’t use the bottom of the jar mmk? It will turn out clumpy and gross. My favorite nut butter company is Georgia Grinders because their products are so smooth and their flavor profile CANNOT be beat! I actually like them so much that I asked for a discount code for you (AND ME!). I don’t get a kickback- I just kickback pb by the the spoonful after using my own code. You should absolutely do the same…. JUST SAYIN’ (code: ahealthyharmony)
Okay beautiful babes- go forth… make yourself a pb filled mug cake! You deserve a little sweetness in your life.
