Paleo Mug Cake

This is a perfect one person dessert or a quick after school snack.I found this recipe on the internet while searching for Paleo Mug Cakes.My little boy thought this was delicious.I ate my mug cake with a dollop of chocolate coconut milk ice-cream and it tasted divine.I like the fact that this is a flour-less cake and that it can be made in under 3 minutes!




Ingredients:
  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter(or any nut butter)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 heaping Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup or Honey
  • A handful of walnuts 
Method:
  1. In a microwave safe mug mash the banana with a fork into a smooth puree.
  2. Mix the almond butter, egg, cocoa powder, and the maple syrup or honey until it forms an even batter(mix well with a spoon)
  3. Fold in walnuts into the batter(make sure that this batter is not more than 2/3rds level of the mug,because it will expand in the microwave).
  4. Microwave on high for 2 and 1/2 minutes until the centre is set.
  5. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (the mug is going to be really hot)
  6. Enjoy!

    Tip :
    • You can add chocolate chips or other mix ins to the batter if you like.
    • This is a 2 minute mug cake,so doesn't compare to the 2 hour baked cake,this mug cake tastes good when accompanied with ice cream!
