Molten chocolate lava melting into each bite is truly sensational! Chocolate lava mug cakes are the best treat for when you want that something sweet but don’t want to take the time to bake, cool, and eat an entire cake.
I cannot tell you how excited I am for this next monthly mini series! Mug cakes are something I picked up while I was pregnant with my first kiddo and I never stopped loving them. They are the best after meal treat, take few ingredients, and are ready in a matter of minutes. You just can’t beat them.
This month I am celebrating my birthday and wanted to share this little piece of heaven in a mug with all of you! First up, we have CHOCOLATE LAVA MUG CAKE. How can you get anymore classic? It’s truly a crowd favorite.
Indulgent Chocolate Lava Mug Cake
My mug cakes can be shared but are certainly not too much to eat by yourself. I will say that because they are made with lighter ingredients, you don’t feel overwhelmed when you are done. I like to call them my “not so guilty” pleasure.
Chocolate lava mug cakes feel extra indulgent because of that melted chocolate in the middle that gets into every bite. I wanted to create a recipe that still gave you that indulgent feeling without the guilt that follows. I found that using dark chocolate, truvia sweetener, and almond flour helps to balance that craving for something sweet while being mindful of a person’s health goals. It’s the best of both worlds!
“Not So Guilty” Pleasure
Dark chocolate provides antioxidants. Almond flour (or protein powder should you choose) provides protein. Truvia sweetener keeps it sugar-free and lower calorie. These simple changes make all the difference in chocolate lava mug cakes!
I am so excited to continue sharing these delicious mug cake recipes with you all month! Check back each Tuesday for a new flavor to be revealed.
