Mini Mug Cakes

Mini Mug Cakes

 

When it comes time for my family to enjoy a nice treat like cake, I try to make it as healthy as possible. Not only are these child-friendly mug cakes refined-sugar free, they are so easy and quick to make. You can even cook them in the microwave! I love getting my girls involved in the process so they can create a positive association with the kitchen and preparing food. 

Although they are more healthy than a regular cake, these should still be served only on special occasions so your children don't get accustomed to having treats every day.

Makes: 1 mini mug cake

Ingredients

Double chocolate

4 tbsp self-raising flour

1 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp cocoa

1 egg

3 tbsp full fat milk

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp chocolate chips

 

Blueberry vanilla 

4 tbsp self-raising flour

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 egg

3 tbsp full fat milk

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Handful of fresh blueberries

Method

  1. If baking in the oven, preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  2. In a large mug or mini ramekin dish, place all the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. Use the spoon to grind all of the cocoa and flour against the side of the mug so there are no lumps.
  3. Add the egg and beat it a little on top of the dry ingredients to break the yolk.
  4. Add the oil, milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips or blueberries. Put the mug into the microwave on high for 3 minutes or place in the oven for 15-25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
