I always need some kind of recipe for a treat for when a strong craving hits. And I recently discovered Mug Cakes which are perfect. Easy to make and portioned controlled. Most recipes make one or two cakes so you dont have to be tempted by leftovers. Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Cake I ripe banana mashed 1/4 c nut butter 1 large egg 2 tbsp. sugar or sweetener (I used agave) 3 TBSP cocoa powder 1 TBSP mini chocolate chips 2 TBSP chopped nuts mix ingredients in bowl and divide between 2 mugs sprayed lightly with cooking spray, mug should not be more than half full as batter will expand. Microwave one mug at a time for 1 min 30 seconds then an additional 15 seconds at a time until the top is firm and springy. (Dont overcook! It will still look moist) It is by no means low calorie but there are nutrition benefits from most of the ingredients and it has to be way better than traditional cake. And it is really good!
