Snickerdoodle Mug Cake (GF)

For a tasty gluten-free snack, here’s your treat that takes a minute (literally) to make!

1 1/2 tbsp nut/seed butter (or oil of your choice)

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

4 tbsp dairy-free milk of your choice

3 tbsp sugar

6 tbsp gluten-free flour

1’4 tsp baking powder or baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

In a roughly 12 oz size mug, add the nut butter or oil, vanilla, milk and sugar. Stir until combined and smooth.

Add the flour, baking powder/soda, salt and cinnamon and stir until combined. (Don’t overmix it, just keep going until you can’t see any dry flour.)

Put in microwave uncovered. (You might want to put it on a small plate in case it overflows.)

Microwave at full power for 1 minute (increasing by 5 second increments) until done. You will know it’s done because it will puff up.

Top with additional sugar and cinnamon and/or a dollop of dairy-free ice cream if desired.
