Equipment
- Microwave-safe mug (10 oz or larger)
- Spoon or small whisk
- Measuring spoons
- Fork (optional for mixing)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons natural almond butter smooth or crunchy
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons milk dairy or non-dairy
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or preferred sweetener
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond butter, egg, milk, and sugar. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until the batter is smooth and well blended. Add the baking powder and stir until fully incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and the top appears set. Be careful not to overcook, as this can dry out the cake.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for about a minute before enjoying. Serve as-is or add toppings like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey!
Notes
- Microwave Variations: Microwave wattages vary; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Mug Size: Ensure your mug is at least 12 oz to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Mix-ins: Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor.
