This AIP Chocolate Mug Cake is a quick, single-serving dessert that’s moist, rich, and completely chocolate-free! Using carob powder as a chocolate substitute, this treat is perfect for those following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) or anyone looking for a healthier indulgence. Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s the ultimate guilt-free comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon cassava flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon carob powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla powder (or a drop of vanilla extract)
  • ½ very ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl or mug, combine cassava flour, coconut flour, carob powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla powder. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Mash the banana until smooth and add it to the dry mixture along with coconut milk and melted coconut oil. Stir until you get a thick, smooth batter. If mixing in a bowl, transfer the batter to a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.

Step 3: Microwave

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds. Check at the one-minute mark to ensure it doesn’t overcook. The cake should rise slightly and feel springy to the touch.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Let the mug cake cool for about 2 minutes before enjoying. Serve as-is or top with AIP vanilla frosting or a dusting of carob powder for an extra treat!

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with herbal tea like chamomile or peppermint for a cozy dessert.
  • Garnish with coconut whipped cream or fresh berries for a fancy touch.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until combined for a light, fluffy cake.

Storage & Reheating

  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours if covered tightly.
  • To reheat, microwave on low power for 10–15 seconds to restore warmth without drying it out.
