Steps:
- In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
- Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
- Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
- Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.

Steps:
- Put the coconut oil in a medium bowl. (If it's solid, microwave if first for a few seconds to melt.) Whisk in the eggs, maple syrup or agave and vanilla until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and salt and whisk again until completely smooth. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.
- Scrape the batter into a 12-ounce (or larger) ceramic coffee mug. Microwave on high until the cake is cooked through and peeks over the rim of the mug, about 80 seconds. (Every microwave is different, so watch it as it cooks.). Top with some fruit if you'd like and serve right away.
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. The higher the cocoa content, the richer and more flavorful your mug cake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the mug cake tough and dense.
- Microwave the mug cake in short bursts. This will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before eating. This will help to prevent it from being too hot.
- Serve the mug cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include ice cream, whipped cream, and berries.
Conclusion:
Flourless chocolate mug cakes are a quick and easy dessert that can be made in just a few minutes. They are perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings or for a special treat.
