Ingredients
chai tea mix or non-dairy milk
3 1/2 tablespoons (Use chai tea mix for more flavor or substitute with non-dairy milk.)
bittersweet chocolate
35 g (Chop into small pieces for easier melting.)
whole wheat flour
3 1/2 tablespoons (No preparation needed.)
baking powder
1/8 teaspoon (No preparation needed.)
baking soda
1/8 teaspoon (No preparation needed.)
chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 tablespoon (Use your choice of chocolate chips.)
Instructions
1
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the chai tea mix (or non-dairy milk) with the chopped bittersweet chocolate. Heat in the microwave at 680 W for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is melted and the mixture resembles hot chocolate.
2
Using a fork, whisk in the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolaty flavor. If the batter is too thick, add additional tea or milk by the teaspoon until you reach a thick muffin-like consistency.
3
Return the mug to the microwave and cook for another minute at 765 W, or until the cake has risen and is firm to the touch, ensuring it is not sticky or gooey in the middle.
4
Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes before enjoying it straight from the mug. For an extra treat, top with a scoop of frozen soy yogurt or your favorite dairy-free ice cream!
