Instructions:

1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the protein powder, coconut flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder.
   
   
2. Add the egg, milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth. If the batter feels thick, add a splash more milk.
   
   
3. Press a square of dark chocolate (or coconut butter) into the center of the batter. Don’t mix it in!
   
   
4. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. Start with 60 and check—microwaves vary!
   
   
5. Let it cool for a minute, then dig in and enjoy the gooey coconut-chocolate magic.
