CHURRO OR MAPLE PECAN MUG CAKES

Oh, my goodness! Did she just say cake? Yes! In our quest to help with variety at breakfast, this modified mug cake from ruled.me may become a favorite. While we aren’t big microwave fans, there is a time and place for everything. This quick recipe can serve as a breakfast muffin as well as a dessert. While we don’t endorse desserts on a regular basis, having a back-up plan that keeps you from occasionally eating something with ingredients that will affect your health and weight loss, is a lifesaver. Swerve, erythritol or xylitol can be found at your local health food store (like Health Nut Nutrition in Wyndhurst).

  • 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

CHURRO MUG CAKE

  1. Mix all ingredients together well in a coffee mug (over 8 oz). Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Carefully turn hot cup (holding the handle) upside down and tap lightly against a plate until it releases.
  2. This recipe provides 12.6 grams of protein (equal to two eggs) and 2 servings of fat.
  3. We like to cut it in half while still warm and sprinkle a few Lily’s mini chocolate chips (or at least an organic 85% chocolate bar chipped) for an extra layer of deliciousness.
