Cinnamon lentils Mug Cake up in just two minutes in the microwave is a delicious way to kick hunger and satisfy your sugar craving…. AND GUESS WHAT?? IT’S GLUTEN-FREE AND LOW CALORIE.
Hi there,
Well, I have to tell you that mug cakes were my lovely best friends before going on a gluten-free diet that will hold me from enjoying these fluffy yummy delicious treats with my favorite cup of coffee every morning. Back then, I never thought I can still enjoy my delicious cake without breaking my gluten-free diet, the thing that drove me to craft my own mug cake how fits my diets.
However, I wanted to come up with a cake that will fulfill my breakfast requirements, which are:
- Gluten-free, of course.
- Satisfying that it won’t make me hungry after a short time.
- Low in calories.
- High in nutritional value.
- EXTREMELY DELICIOUS….
Then, since mug cakes don’t have room enough for lots of ingredients, so I have to watch out for the one that is added in a large amount (which I mean the flour). Fortunately, I came across the lentil flour and was amazed by the health benefits it could provide with such few calories, which makes it the perfect candidate for my mug cake.
