    Cinnamon Bun Cake in a Mug **Great Recipe for Food Allergies**

    August 10, 2015 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Delicious cinnamon bun cake in a mug takes under five minutes to make and tastes amazing! Better yet, this recipe can easily be adapted as a gluten free, paleo, vegan or FODMAP friendly dessert recipe!

    You know those days that you just want to get home from work, slide off your shoes and park yourself on the couch for five minutes of uninterrupted time with no one bothering you?

    Yeah, that soooo doesn't happen when I walk in the door.

    No, when I walked in the door on this particular day I was greeted to every single mug that our family owns piling up in the sink, on the counters and even one in the microwave with batter spilling over.

    My teen was sitting in the kitchen with the last remaining mug in her hand, beaming.

    "What did you do today?" (Seriously shouldn't ask that, I kind of figured it out just by looking around).

    "I made YOU a dessert!"

    That little bit of anger boiling inside of me when I walked in and found every square inch of counter space consumed by flour, cinnamon, chocolate chips and other various baking ingredients just melted. The kids really know how to butter me up.

    I expected the wrose but was really pleasantly surprised that the dessert tasted amazing. I love making it those afternoons I am starving. The kids can easily make their version, and I can make mine. And I love that my craving for something sweet can be fed in under five minutes. Score!

    Cinnamon Bun Cake in a Mug **Great Recipe for Food Allergies**

    Ingredients

    • 2 ½ tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar

    Instructions

    1. In a mug or small mason jar, combine all ingredients, stirring until thoroughly mixed.
    2. Place the mug or mason jar in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Continue to cook at 15 second intervals if needed until thoroughly cooked.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
