Method
Mix the almonds and cocoa powder in a large mug, until well combined.
Add the rest of the ingredients in order, and a tiny pinch of salt. Mix well.
Heat for 50-60secs in the microwave, watching so it doesn’t rise above the lip of the mug. If it starts to rise to the top, pause the microwave, let it deflate, and continue. Heat for a total of 2mins. It should stop rising after the first min, but continue to watch for the final 1min.
Second Nature special tip
The carbohydrate serving will depend on the type of flour you choose. If you use ground almonds, this is a great carb-free option. However, if you choose porridge oats, they’re 0.5 carbohydrates per serving.
