Weight Watchers Chocolate Mug Cake
Servings: 1
WW Points: ~3 points (depending on exact ingredients used)

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or almond flour for fewer points)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia or monk fruit)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or fat-free milk)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips (add 1 tbsp for 1 extra point)

Instructions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the mug to mix everything well.
  3. Microwave: Cook on high for 60-75 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds—be careful not to overcook as microwaves vary. The cake should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
  4. Cool and enjoy: Let the cake cool for a minute before eating. Add sugar-free whipped topping or a sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate chips if desired (adjust points accordingly).
