My favourite mug cake recipe
Oh mug cakes.. Lately I have this thing for them. They are not only super easy and quick to make, but they are absolutely delicious as well. And of course, super healthy! I played around with different recipes and this was my favorite version; fluffy, moist and soft.
FOR A BASIC MUG CAKE, YOU'LL NEED
- 1 egg
- ½ banana
- 30 g (vanilla) whey powder
- 20 g buckwheat flour
- splash of water
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of baking salt
- a mug
- a microwave
Mash the banana and whisk the egg, and then just all the other ingredients and stir. Pour the dough into a mug and put it in the microwave on 1000W for 3-4 minutes. Done!
But this is only the beginning.. Go crazy with these delicious variation ideas:
- Use different kinds of whey powder
- Fancy a pink mug cake? Try some beetroot powder
- Add some cinnamon
- Add chocolate chips, raisins, mulberries, coconut, berries, small pieces of fruit...
- Pour half of the dough in the mug, then add a tablespoon peanut butter and pour the other half on top.. Heaven! Or what about a dollop of Nutella?
