Riana’s Banting Lemon & Coconut Mug Muffin

These take 1 and a half minutes in the microwave. I have clever friends. Riana is one of them. As she doesn’t eat chocolate, she experimented with the  Banting Chocolate cake in a mug recipe and came up with this one. This is such a simple recipe. Here’s what I wrote down:

RecipeEasy peasy….break an egg into a regular size mug and give it a good whisk using a fork. When nicely beaten, add the rest of the ingredients…

IngredientsSo that’s 2 tablespoons of almond flour and 2 tablespoons of dessicated coconut. Add half a teaspoon of baking powder and a tablespoon of oil. Riana and I both used macadamia oil.

Macadamia oilWhen it came to the lemon, I put in about half a teaspoon of grated lemon rind, but I didn’t think it was enough. You can play around with it or substitute it with orange if you’d prefer. Next time, I will definitely make it a teaspoon of lemon rind. Riana had some lemon oil, which she put in hers. I forgot the xylitol. It doesn’t need a lot, but it definitely needed some…maybe start with half a teaspoon and if that isn’t enough increase to a teaspoon with the next one.  Just ‘gooi’  all the ingredients on top of the beaten egg….

Dry ingredients added to the egg

And mix it all up…once it’s well blended, it’s ready for the microwave….

Ready for the microwave90 seconds! That’s all. 1 and a half minutes and out it comes looking like this…

90 seconds laterRun a knife around the edges, knock the bottom of the mug on the counter top to persuade the bottom of the cake to loosen and tip it out…decorate with a strawberry and a bit of cream and voila…
