- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or low-carb sweetener of choice*
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp sprinkles optional**
Instructions
-
In a large mug, whisk together coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add egg, coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to combine. Very gently fold in optional sprinkles.
-
Microwave for about 2 minutes. Start checking at about 1.5 minutes. Let sit for a couple minutes before eating.
-
Optionally, top with a few more sprinkles before serving.
Oven Option:
-
This vanilla mug cake can also be baked in an oven preheated to 350° F. Baking mug cake will take anywhere from 20-35 mins. Timing will depend on a number of factors like the cup’s diameter, wall thickness, etc. You want the cake to be set but still springy.
For a quick oven method, divide the batter into 2-3 lined muffin cavities. It will take only about 15 mins that way.
Recipe Notes
*I recommend Lakanto's monk fruit syrup
