Ingredients

• 3 tbsp plain gluten-free flour (see note)
• 3 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa or raw cacao, plus extra, for dusting
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 3 tbsp milk (whatever milk you prefer)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or softened butter
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

To serve 

• ice-cream or thick cream

Instructions

1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. 

2. Pour the mixture into a coffee cup and microwave for 50-70 seconds. Less microwave time results in a more molten texture. Dust with cocoa and serve immediately with ice-cream or a dollop of cream.

Note:

• This recipe was made with Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 plain gluten free flour. Different brands deliver different results.
