1-Minute Paleo Choc Chip Cookie (In A Mug)

1-Minute Paleo Choc Chip Cookie (In A Mug)

Adapted from My Kitchen Antics

Important. Use the same mug for the entire baking. I used an espresso cup which was about ¾ full before cooking. The dough rises so make sure you don’t fill it to the brim. Alternatively you can use a ramekin, coffee cup or any small dish.

Also, you have the option of using either raw coconut palm sugar or honey; however the former yields much better results in texture and taste than the latter (less sweet and richer flavor).

Ingredients

Serves 2 (yes, share it with someone you love, don’t eat it all by yourself!)

1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil

2 scant tablespoon raw coconut palm sugar (or raw organic honey)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch fine grain sea salt

1 egg yolk

3 tablespoons almond meal

2 tablespoons +70% dark chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)

Directions

In a mug melt the coconut oil in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds — until just melted, not boiling.

Add raw coconut palm sugar, vanilla extract and salt and mix well until combined.

Add the egg yolk and mix until no traces of the yolk is seen.

Mix in the almond meal and then fold in the dark chocolate chunks.

Cook in the microwave for about 40 to 50 seconds in the microwave. Don’t overcook it, the cookie starts drying and tastes awful. Likes regular cookies this one will continue to cook as it cools.

Bear in mind that the aroma will bring all the girls (and/or boys) to your yard, so be ready to bake more cookies.
