Grain Free Salted Caramel Mug Cakes

March 28, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

I’m obsessed with desserts in a mug lately.  Everything from Muffins in a Minute to cookies.  Seriously, have you tried my Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Minute?  It’s fabulous!  Today’s recipe also ties in a popular food trend of salted caramel.  I’ve seen it all over the place…especially Pinterest so naturally I needed to create a grain free way to enjoy salted caramel.  I ended up created grain free mug cakes.  It’s ready in just minutes and it has all the flavors of salted caramel…with a lot less carbs.

Enjoy it right out of the mug with a spoon and topped with butter/ghee or homemade ice cream 🙂
