I've kind of made a recent discovery - I love mug cakes. They're way quicker than trying to bake an entire cake (along with the risk of me eating the entire thing), but I find that they're so much easy to play with. I love trying out different ingredients together, and since the ingredients are in much smaller quantities, messing up ingredients is a little more forgiving. It also allows me to have the illusion that I'm eating something completely decadent, when I really am just sneaking some healthy ingredients in there. I've used them as a post-workout meal with oats, peanut butter, and eggs (carbs, fat, proteins!).
I've been tweaking several recipes and have come up with two variations that yield a slightly different consistency, but are both wonderfully delicious.
The first version is a bit more brownie-like. It's slightly gooier, and when a bit of peanut butter is added in the middle before microwaving it, it has something like a molten cake consistency.
Look at this. How does this not make you run to the kitchen and start throwing ingredients together? You would never guess that it's actually about 75% healthy..
Read on for the ingredients (and a bonus version!)
