(Ready in Under 3 Minutes)
Craving something sweet and nourishing? This high-fiber chocolate mug cake hits the spot. It’s rich, gooey, deeply chocolatey — and made with ingredients that support your gut, not sabotage it.
Most chocolate cakes offer barely 1 gram of fiber per slice. This one? You’re getting 7–8 grams in one cozy, microwaveable mug. Thanks to the addition of Bloom Boost, this easy dessert sneaks in fiber, healthy fats, and real nourishment — without sacrificing that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Whether you're looking for a healthier dessert option or trying to boost your fiber intake the delicious way, this mug cake delivers.
Why Add Fiber to a Dessert?
Most people aren’t getting enough fiber — in fact, over 90% of us fall short. Fiber plays a major role in digestion, hormone balance, blood sugar regulation, and even mood. But traditional desserts? They tend to be fiberless, refined, and leave you feeling... not so great.
This mug cake is different. With a blend of nutrient-dense ingredients like seeds, oat bran, and cocoa powder, you get:
- Lasting satisfaction (no sugar crash)
- Better digestion
- A chocolate fix that loves your gut back
The Recipe: Fudgy Chocolate Mug Cake with Bloom Boost
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Bloom Boost
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp oil (olive or avocado works well)
- 1 tbsp whisked egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1½ tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp boiling water
- Optional: 2 tsp chocolate chips on top
Instructions:
- In a large mug, whisk together all ingredients except the boiling water and chocolate chips.

✨ Don’t let the ingredient list intimidate you — it’s mostly pantry staples, and every ingredient plays a role in creating that rich, fudgy texture.
How Much Fiber Is in This Mug Cake?
Thanks to the 2 tablespoons of Bloom Boost (plus other fiber-friendly ingredients), this mug cake contains around 7–8 grams of fiber — that’s up to 7x more than a slice of traditional chocolate cake, which typically has just 1 gram or less.

| Bloom Boost (2 tbsp) | 4 g |
| Cocoa powder (2 tbsp) | 2 g |
| Peanut butter (1 tbsp) | 1.3 g |
