Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
-
Grind the pistachios into a fine flour.
-
In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the pistachio flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt until the ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Add the maple syrup (or preferred sweetener), coconut oil, milk, and egg, then whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Microwave Method:
-
Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug (6- to 8-ounce size is ideal).
-
Place the mug in the center of your microwave and cook on high for 1-2 minutes. The cake is done when it has puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. For a 900-watt microwave, 90 seconds should be sufficient. Adjust accordingly for higher or lower wattages.
Oven Method:
-
Pour the batter into an oven-safe, 6-ounce ramekin.
-
Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 18-20 minutes, or in a 325°F (160°C) air fryer for 13-15 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Add Optional Toppings:
-
Let the cake cool for a few minutes and, if desired, top with whipped coconut cream or your favorite garnish.
