Author: Mellissa Sevigny @ www.ibreatheimhungry.com/
This delicious fall inspired low carb mug cake evokes cozy sweaters and sitting by the fire with a good book and your favorite socks on! Loaded with shredded apples, walnuts and caramel - you can go from craving to eating in just minutes!
Makes: 2 to 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp sweetener (I used Swerve)
1 Tbsp coconut flour
¼ cup almond flour
pinch of salt
½ tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk
½ tsp caramel extract
¼ cup shredded granny smith apple
1 Tbsp walnuts, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium-sized microwave safe bowl, melt the butter if you haven't already.
Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
Spoon the batter into 2 mugs, or 4 small paper baking cups.
Microwave for 1 minute on high if using the baking cups, 1 minute and 30 seconds if cooking both mugs.
Check for doneness and if still liquid in the center microwave for 15 second increments until just set.
Serve warm.
Notes:
To make this recipe Paleo just replace the sweeter with honey or maple syrup and increase the coconut flour to 2 Tbsp to make up for the extra liquid.
Ice cream and toppings are optional and not included in nutrition info below.
