Coffee Mug Cake: This 2-Minute Snack Is Surprisingly Healthy

Step 1

Beat the egg in your chosen mug (you could also use a medium ramekin).

Step 2

Add melted coconut oil or butter, sugar or sugar substitute, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and baking powder; stir to combine.

Step 3

Add almond flour and whisk to break any clumps.

Step 4

Make the streusel: use a fork to mash together the coconut oil (or butter), almond flour, sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mug cake batter with the streusel mixture.

Step 6

Cook it in the microwave for 60 seconds in high powder, then check it.

Step 7

It should be cooked but not overcooked as it could end up not being soft enough.

Step 8

If it is too wet, cook it for another 30 seconds (this is what I need to do, but all microwaves are different, and the mug could impact the cooking time too).

Step 9

Mix icing sugar or powdered erythritol with a few drops of water, then drizzle over the mug cake.

Step 10

Enjoy right away! These cakes are the yummiest while fresh.

Step 11

Keep any leftovers in the fridge inside an airtight container for up to 3 days (but it won’t last that long!).
