Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons nut or seed butter, or a neutral liquid oil
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons dairy-free milk (use 3 tablespoons if using oil instead of nut butter)
  • 3 tablespoons (38 grams) sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (54 grams) all purpose flour, spelt flour, oat flour, or gluten-free baking flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 small pinch fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 big pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a 12-ounce or 350ml mug, combine the nut butter or oil, vanilla extract, dairy-free milk, and sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly, making sure no dry flour remains at the bottom of the mug.
  3. Place the mug uncovered in the microwave. Set it on a small plate to catch any possible overflow.
  4. Microwave on full power for 1 minute, then continue cooking in 5-second increments until done. A 1200w microwave takes about 1 minute 5 seconds. The cake should puff up and look set with a slightly damp top.
  5. Sprinkle the top generously with the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or neutral oil for this recipe.
  • Oat flour or gluten-free flour can be substituted for all-purpose flour.
  • Microwave cooking times vary depending on wattage.
  • This mug cake is best enjoyed fresh and warm.
