3 Minute Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake

Last night my husband and I had a hankering for something sweet, but I did not feel like spending too much time in the kitchen.  I remembered having a recipe for a 3 minute chocolate mug cake recipe...I could not find it...and so I found it online and made it gluten free. It turned out pretty well, and took about 5 minutes total to make.


1 Large Coffee Mug
4 Tablespoons gluten free flour*
1/4 Teaspoon xanthum gum*
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons baking cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla

Instructions:
Mix all the dry ingredients in the mug, add the wet ingredients. Mix well ( Be sure it is mixed thoroughly, the flour tends to get stuck on the bottom of the mug). Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes. It will rise over the top of the mug, but don't worry, it will not spill. It will sink back down once it is done.

*I used mainly sorghum flour, only because that is what was in my flour canister. I'm sure brown rice would work great too.

 

*If you don't have any xanthum gum on hand, my guess is that it would work fine without any. Usually if a recipe has alot of eggs you do not need much xanthum gum. 

 

Good luck!
