05-Min Lemon Chia Mug Cakes

I love a good dessert (as evidenced by the many cake, pie, cookie & bar recipes I’ve posted).  But, in the last few years, I have really focused on cutting back my sugar & refined carb consumption.  So, while I still enjoy the occasional scrumptious piece of homemade pie, I am experimenting with alternatives.  A client of mine recently introduced me to these fabulous 05-Min Lemon Chia Mug Cakes!  They mix up & bake right in the mug, are gluten- & dairy-free AND are done (from start to finish) in roughly 05min!  You just gotta love ’em!

Ingredients

  • 1 t coconut oil
  • 1/4 c almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 T honey
  • 1/4 t baking powder
  • 2 t chia seeds
  • 2 t lemon juice

Put coconut oil in a microwave-safe mug & microwave just until melted, about 20 sec.  Add almond flour, egg, honey & baking powder.  Stir to combine.

Add chia seeds & lemon juice & stir to combine.

Microwave on high for 90 sec.  Let cool for 5 min…if you can wait that long!  Enjoy!
