I was so looking forward to this recipe but it was way too dry and didn’t taste chocolaty at all. I tried a second time with more milk but it made v little improvement.
I really wanted to like this recipe but idk, it didn’t hit. I followed it exactly but it turned out so dry……nope.
Poops aplenty after eating this healthy treat. Hershey squirts.
I hope your Hershey squirts were worth it 😀
I used sugar free syrup, didn’t have cocoa powder but I used PB2 and mixed in chocolate chips. Cooked 2 mins and it’s really good!
I substituted cocoa powder with cacao powder and the almond milk with rice milk. Mine was super dry so maybe I should have added more milk, but still tasted decent with some chocolate chips.
Maybe it’s me… I’ve been looking for healthier mug cakes that are still tasty and this was a miss for me. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is but the flavor is weird
It has like a egg taste it’s weird
So good! Even better with a little ice cream on top 🍫🍦
100% approve of the ice cream move!
I love this mug cake and make it regularly. The texture is perfect and it’s not too sweet. I’ve already had it twice this week!
