Ingredients
Low Carb, Low Calorie Single-serving Mug Cake
- 2 Tbsp. oat fiber (White/wheat/oat flour would work here too, I think!)
- 1 Tbsp.(10 g) cricket powder
- 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp. egg whites (Or a whole egg for a richer cake)
- 3 Tbsp. water or milk
- Dash glucomannan (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. pumpkin, butternut, or sweet potato puree
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- Sweetener to taste (I like two packets of splenda!)
- dash apple cider vinegar
Directions
- Mix ingredients well, adding vinegar last.
- Microwave 1:30-2:00 min, until done.
- Top with whipped cream, sugar-free syrup, chocolate chips, walnuts, or whatever your heart desires!
- I like to flip my cake over in the bowl so the syrup absorbs!
