Almond Butter & Cinnamon Mug Cake

I don’t have a very big sweet tooth, but there are those times where I crave a little something delicious.

And normally when it hits me, I have to do something about it right away. Whipping up an entire batch of cookies seems like too much sometimes, and I really only need a couple bites to feel satisfied. A personal little treat that requires only a few minutes to make, is a healthier option than most, and is perfect for those chilly fall days… sounds ideal, right?

Allow me to introduce you to the mug cake: A single serving cake that is made in a mug.

Curling up on the couch with hands wrapped around a hot drink and steam rising from the top paints the perfect picture of fall comfort. I love that mug cakes give you that same feeling, but instead you’re treating yourself to a little something extra. You can create all different kinds depending on the ingredients you choose, and I was recently introduced to this amazing blueberry cinnamon walnut almond butter that I thought would be the perfect addition in a fall mug cake. Read on for the recipe!

What you need:

Microwave safe mug

1 1/2 tbsp Almond Butter (check out all of the delicious flavors from KOLAT Superfood Fusions!)

1 egg

1 tbsp almond milk

1/2 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp vanilla or almond extract

Combine everything into a microwave safe mug.

Mix together until a smooth batter is formed. Place the mug in the microwave for 1:30 – 2 minutes. (I checked mine every so often to make sure it wasn’t baking over. Depending on the power of your microwave you may have to adjust the baking time.)
