Directions
Grab a microwave-safe mug and combine the almond flour, cacao powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Give those dry ingredients a good stir. Next, crack in the egg and add the honey, melted coconut oil, and a splash of vanilla extract. Mix everything together until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips so they’re spread throughout the batter. Pop the mug into the microwave and cook for about a minute, or until the top has risen and looks mostly set in the middle. Let it cool for a minute before digging in—enjoy!
