No cooking skills are required, just add 1 scoop of the powder and 3/4 scoop of water, and mix to a paste. Then microwave for 30 seconds, and allow to rest for a further 30 seconds before eating.

Or just cosy up on the sofa with a blanket and a cup of tea, and enjoy a little bit of "me-time" this winter. No room for sharing, a perfect one-person chocolatey portion.

    I made my first mug cake the other week, but I didn't have coconut flour (the recipe I followed used it) so I used regular flour and had to guess. It was a bit eggy, but quite nice, although I had to cook it for ages.

    I made a mug cake from protein powder and it was so rubbery but it was probably the recipe (and the protein powder) I used. This looks awesome tho! Need it in my life!
