I was sitting at home one day and craving something chocolate, but I didnt want to make a batch of cookies or a whole cake just something to satisfy my cravings and I came upon this recipe. This was quick and easy to make and just one serving. This is such a great idea for a quick dessert for 1 or more people or something fun to do with the kids.
Paleo Mug Cake
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Ingredients (Makes 1 cake):
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter(or any nut butter)
- 1 egg
- 2 heaping Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons sweetener(optional)
- Chocolate chips, walnuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins(optional)
Method:
- With a fork, mash the banana into a smooth puree.
- Mix the almond butter, egg, cocoa powder, and extra sweetener if using into the banana puree until it forms an even batter.
- Fold in any mix-ins into the batter that you’d like. Otherwise, pour the batter into a mug or other microwave safe container. Be sure to only fill the container up to 2/3rds the way because it will expand in the microwave.
- Microwave on high for 2 and 1/2 minutes until the center is set. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and enjoy hot, cold, or at room temperature.
Love and Enjoy!
