Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons almond or coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons granulated coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped dark chocolate (85% cacao)
  • coconut oil, for greasing
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of sea salt

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease two 125 ml (1⁄2 cup) ovenproof ceramic mugs with coconut oil.
  2. Place the egg, almond or coconut milk, coconut sugar, cacao powder, tapioca flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and whisk well until wet, gooey and well combined. Pour the batter into the mugs, then press the chocolate into the centre.
  3. Bake the puddings for 5–6 minutes, or until the tops are crunchy and the middle is still moist and gooey. Enjoy immediately. Cover the second pudding and store in the fridge to enjoy the next day.Five Kilos in 5 Weeks

NEXT LEVEL IT: Want to increase the protein for a post-workout treat? Swap the tapioca flour for a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder.

PRO TIP: If you don’t have ovenproof mugs, you can use ceramic ramekins.
