I have always loved Valentine’s Day. Relationship or not, Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to go a little further and show someone how much you love them. Maybe you really love your BFF because she/he has been so good to you – why not surprise them with a bottle of champagne? Or what about your immediate family – has anyone gone out of their way for you? Simply sending a card or a virtual card to say “thank you” and “I love you” goes a long way. Life is truly unpredictable, and sometimes the people we love most appreciate just a little show of affection! So show someone you care right now. In fact, you could show someone you care in five minutes with this delicious low-FODMAP mug cake 🙂
Low-FODMAP Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake
2 tablespoons all-purpose gluten-free flour like Bob’s Red Mill
1.5 tablespoons cocoa powder like Nutivas Naturals
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1 egg white, large
1 tablespoon smooth natural peanut butter (or allergen-friendly SunButter)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
4 tablespoons almond milk, unsweetened
Directions
- Bring coconut oil to room temperature or melt just slightly first in microwave
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl
- Add wet ingredients and mix
- Spray a mug with oil and transfer batter into mug
- Microwaves very but most will bake the mug cake at 1 minute on high
And if you want to be on the healthier side, here is my:
