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 🙂
