HEALTHY AND EASY CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

This is my healthy and very moist chocolate mug cake. Not only does it hit the spot and then some but it takes 5 mins tops for that first warm bite. Yes, that is correct, you make it in a mug.
I use coconut flour but you can use any flour you want but my cake is seriously quite healthy and also low in sugar. I love cacao nibs and seem to add them to just about anything I can – but they are optional if you do not have them. They add little chocolate crunches so I am in love but they are also packed with magnesium, iron, and more antioxidant levels then dark chocolate.
GLUTEN-FREE, LOW IN SUGAR, BLISSFUL, DECADENT, AND TAKES 5 MINS FROM BEGINNING TO END.
