Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat Flour (certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice or Cinnamon (adjust based on preference)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate Chips
- 2 tablespoons Dried Fruit (mix in your favorites)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Nut Butter (sunflower seed butter or tahini for nut allergies)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (can be replaced with agave nectar)
- 1 cup Non-Dairy Milk (regular milk for non-vegan versions)
- A splash of Vanilla Extract (about 1/4 teaspoon)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Whipped Cream
- 1 serving Fresh Fruits
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add nut butter, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the nut butter is well incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl or another mug, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice or cinnamon, and sea salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in the mug. Gently stir with a spoon or small whisk until there are no pockets of dry flour left and the batter is consistent.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for about 50 seconds. Timing may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage. The cake should rise and feel firm to the touch.
- Rest and Cool: Allow the mug cake to cool for 5 minutes, which helps it set and makes it easier to eat.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the mug cake with dairy-free whipped cream, sprinkle chocolate chips and dried fruit if desired, and serve alongside fresh fruits for a delicious and wholesome treat.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour if you require a gluten-free diet.
- For nut allergies, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Adjust spices according to your preference: pumpkin spice offers a warm flavor, or use cinnamon for a classic taste.
- Microwave times vary; start checking at 45 seconds to prevent overcooking.
- To make it non-vegan, swap non-dairy milk with regular milk and omit dairy-free whipped cream.
- Fresh fruits such as berries or sliced banana complement the cake nicely.
