A Healthy Cake You Can Make In Minutes!
It happens to all of us … that craving for something sweet that we can’t seem to shake …
Next time this happens to you, you need to make a mug cake! Not only are these quick and easy, they are healthy and delicious! There are may recipes out there, but this “base” is my favorite. Shalane Flannigan & Elyse Kopecky, the girls behind the Run Fast, Eat Slow cookbook hit it out of the park with this recipe. It only requires a few ingredients, takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, and just 1 minute to cook! There are lots of variations listed here, but feel free to experiment on your own too!
Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
