Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 Tablespoons (30 grams) gluten-free oat flour
- Optional: 2 Tablespoons plant-based protein powder (see notes)
- 2 Tablespoons raw sugar or sugar-free sweetener of choice (xylitol for sugar-free may be substituted)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon neutral oil or melted refined coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons non-dairy milk (if adding plant-based protein use an additional 1 Tablespoon milk)
- Optional Add-ins: vegan chocolate chips, peanut butter baking chips, berries
- Optional Toppings: sprinkles, coconut whip, coconut yogurt, etc
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the oat flour (and protein powder if using), sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Pour the oil, vinegar, and vanilla in three different spots on top of the dry mix. (see video in post)
- Pour milk over the top and gently stir.If desired, mix in any add-ins.
- Pour the batter into a greased tall/deep mug or 8-ounce ramekin. (If adding plant-based protein powder, the batter will be thicker. If needed, use the back of a spoon to gently press the mixture down into the mug.
- Microwave on HIGH in 3 intervals of 30 seconds each time, check to see if the cake is firm. The top should be firm to the touch once cooked. If not, cook for 15-20 seconds longer (the total time depends on microwave power). Remove from the microwave and let it cool a minute.
- Top mug cake with optional toppings and dig in with a spoon or, if desired, flip over onto a plate and add toppings.
