I love eating mug cakes in P3. They are so quick and easy and make a nice low carb treat. This is the recipe I use most. It is a combination of a couple different mug cake recipes I found on the internet. Of course, I don't bake it in the microwave, which is the way most mug cake recipes are written. I experimented with baking in the oven and have found a method that works for me.
Ok - maybe that looks like a lot of butter - and maybe it is. :) I am not scared of butter - yum.
Low Carb Chocolate Mug Cake
1/4 cup flax meal
1 Tbs. cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. xylitol (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 tsp. coconut oil
Mix all ingredients together and bake. I use 2 muffin liners and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. It can also be baked in a mug in the microwave.
Here's what they looked like before baking...
And after they were done....
I love the muffin topped with butter and a little powdered xylitol. You can eat half now and save the rest for another snack. YUM!
