My favourite mug cake recipe

Food & Recipes door thijs

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?
