On Friday night, Mr X went to the football. I had an absolutely terrible day at work, got home late, missed the gym, and really had the urge for something chocolatey. But just a piece/row/block of chocolate wasn't going to cut it - I needed something like cake... and fast.
There are a few "five minute" pudding recipes floating round on the internet, so I thought I would try one for myself. Here is my recipe below. I was pretty happy with it - it was chocolatey, moist, and gooey.
Serves - 1 large serving, or 2 small.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbs almond meal
- 2 tbs flour (I used corn flour)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 5 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs cocoa
- 1 egg
- pinch salt
- splash vanilla extract
- 3 tbs milk
- 3 tbs oil (I used rice bran oil)
- 6 left over wedding chocolates - or a couple of squares of any chocolate
Method:
If you are eating it all yourself, stick the bowl in the microwave on medium for 1 minute. Leave it for a few seconds, then microwave for a further 40 seconds on medium if you like it gooey (like I do!) or a little longer if you want it more cake-like.
If it is for two people (and you don't want to share the one pudding), split the mixture into two separate microwave safe mugs, and microwave as above.
Yum! And less than 5 minutes to make!
Variations I want to try:
- I used almond meal and corn flour because I wanted it gluten free, but you could just use 4 tbs of plain flour, etc.
- Make butterscotch pudding by replacing cocoa with extra sugar
- White sugar instead of brown
- White chocolate or nutella instead of chocolate
- Apple puree to replace egg
- An even more gooey version, by adapting a chocolate self saucing pudding recipe!

Has Mr X eaten all the "speedy gooey chocolate pudding" or will some be dropped off, like the banana muffins were?
No ... I ate it!!
