This recipe is fine for all stages of the program.

[recipe-ingredients]

• 1 egg, beaten
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• 1 Tbsp. cream (optional, you could use 1 tbsp almond milk as an alternative)
• 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp. sweetener of your choice
• ¼ tsp. baking powder

[recipe-directions]

1. Add the sweetener and cocoa powder to a small bowl.
2. Add the cream/almond milk, egg and vanilla and whisk until there are no lumps.
3. Sprinkle the baking powder on top and quickly mix together.
4. Pour into a large mug or two smaller mugs and microwave (one at a time if making 2 mugs) for 40 to 60 seconds.
5. It will rise quite high and then settle again.
6. Should be moist but not runny.

NOTE: For most microwaves, it will take about 60 seconds but you may need to play with the time depending on the strength of your microwave.

SIDE NOTE: you can make these in small bowls instead and then place the “cake” on a plate with a small dollop of sugar-free whipped cream ( cream whipped with sweetener instead of sugar) and a mint leaf to dress it up for company.
