1 Minute Carob Brownie Mug Cake, (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Hi everyone!

I a always looking for quick recipes that can be used as snack or a healthy alternative to a dessert! This recipe is adapted from Gemma Stafford’s Chocolate Brownie Mug cake in her 1 Minute Mug Cakes Youtube Video 🙂

I want to thank Gemma for creating these Gluten-free and Vegan recipes! they are absolutely delicious and easy to make!

You can check out here video HERE, She has multiple mug cakes in her video, the one I am sharing today is the Gluten-free & vegan one 🙂

I have talked about the health benefits of Carob over Cocoa before… but basically

Carob powder has a number of advantages over Cocoa powder and as such is often used to make what has come to be known as ‘healthy chocolate’ . Carob powder is free of the allergetic and addictive effects of caffeine and theobromine present in Cocoa.

here is Gemma’s recipe with a few modifications 🙂

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup sugar or raw sugar ( I used Agave)
4 Tbsp Carob powder
1/2 cup low fat coconut milk
4 Tbsp Coconut oil (or any flavorless oil, canola or vegetable)

Coconut ice cream to serve ( link to the coconut ice-cream recipe)

** I did make this Mug cake without Oil a few times and just added a bit more Coconut milk so it would not dry out, for a healthier alternative

How to:

  • You can make your own Oat flower out of Rolled oats simply by grinding up the oats in your blender ( I use my magic bullet)
  • In a large bowl mix the Flour, sugar & Carob
  • Add in the low fat Coconut milk & Oil
  • then divide this between two separate mugs.
  • Microwave for One minute until the mixture is cooked through & it should still be moist not dry!
  • Put on a scoop of dairy-free Coconut ice-cream on top and enjoy!!!

    1. Its actually a bit sweeter than cocoa powder, it has a different taste than chocolate but when added to other ingredient it has the chocolate taste! strange… some people just drink it as well instead of coffee 🙂
