Egg, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon peppermint essence
1 spoonful of chocolate chips sans sugar (If you’d like, hold back a few for the top.)
whipped cream or sugar-free ice cream as a garnish!

Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large cup or mug.
Add the remaining ingredients and well whisk.
Add a few additional chocolate chips on top.
Cook in the microwave for 45–55 seconds, or until it reaches lava cake-like yet fudgey perfection.
* Return it for a drier cake if you want a cooked cake texture.
Notes *Always choose peppermint above other mint varieties.

You do want this to be slightly underdone. * Oven timings will vary.
