Tips & Tricks
Microwave times may vary. Start with 90 seconds and add 5–10 seconds if needed. Avoid overcooking to prevent a rubbery texture.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle for an extra treat.
Use oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend for dietary adjustments.
Coffee enhances chocolate and caramel flavors, making desserts taste richer and more aromatic.
