Ingredients

Method

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar substitute. Stir with a fork until evenly mixed.
  2. Add the egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk with the fork until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in the diced apple, reserving a few pieces to press on top of the batter for a pretty finish.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 90 seconds, until the cake has risen and is set in the center. 1:30
  5. Let the mug cake rest for 1 minute to cool slightly and finish setting before topping. 1:00
  6. Top with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then enjoy straight from the mug while warm.
