Single-Serve Vanilla Mug Cake

You are minutes away from a decadent indulgence!

Prep and Cook Time:  2 minutes
Serves: 1
Pairs Well With: Coconut Whipped Topping
 
Main Ingredients:
¼ cup flour of your choice – if you require or prefer gluten free, use a flour blend
¼ tsp baking powder
1 tsp coconut oil + a small amount to coat the mug
1 tbsp coconut sugar – if you don’t have coconut sugar you can substitute brown sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
½ tsp vanilla extract
3+ tbsp plant-based milk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon

Method:
Prepare a microwave safe mug by spraying or applying coconut oil to the inside of the mug.
In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, milk, and salt.  Blend together until the mixture has no lumps and is thin enough to pour into the prepared mug. You may need to add additional milk, 1 tbsp at a time, to achieve the right consistency.
 
Transfer the batter to the mug and microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Watch the mug while the batter is heating to avoid overflow. Microwave times vary so you may need to pop the mug cake back in for additional 30 second intervals.
 
When the mug cake is cooked, you can transfer it to a bowl or plate, or just enjoy directly from the mug.
 
Tips & Variations:

• Serve your finished cake with fresh berries, ice cream, or whipped topping
• If you are serving a small group, you can customize each cake by adding chocolate, nuts, fruit, or additional spices
• For a really quick snack, pre-mix a small batch of the dry ingredients required for the cake – this cuts down on measuring and mess!
