PIN Vegan Coconut Flour Mug Cake
I am about to type a sentence that is gonna make your hungry mouth very happy:
Gluten Free Cake. In 5 MINUTES.
CAKE (in 5 minutes!!) that is mixed with COOKIES.
Cookies. INSIDE YOUR CAKE. In 5 MINUTES.
Totally and utterly in major <3<3<3 with everything about this vegan cake in a mug.
It’s basically just ridiculously simple, sweet and tangy lemon-flavored deliciousness happening inside a mug of HAPPINESS.
SRSLY. I thought that my morning mug of coffee (with an oatmeal breakfast bar) was my happy place. But then I mixed almond flour and coconut flour and drizzled in a splash of sour lemon that placed RLY RLY nice with sticky-sweet agave, creamy homemade almond butter and LEMON GINGER MACAROONS.
Move over coffee + breakfast bar combo. Vegan mug cake with coconut flour is IN DA HOUSE.
Hey coffee…don’t move TOO far though. I still need you to, you know, function. You understand this.
[Tweet “Have cookies IN your cake with this #Glutenfree #Vegan Lemon Macaroon Mug Cake! @LoveWithFood”]OH MY GOSH. <– HAVING A REVELATION ALERT: What if you had a mug of coffee WITH this tender, soft vegan mug cake recipe mixed with chewy, spicy-sweet, crumbled up coconut-y macaroons. Too much?
NEVER.
Also: I know we JUST had tropical paleo lemon bars on Monday. I’m going through a lemon phase. You understand.
Don’t be alarmed when you see a no bake paleo lemon bars recipe coming to your face soon. I might be also obsessing over lemon muffin gluten free breakfast casseroles these days.
ANYWAY. There are a few fun facts that you need to know about this magical “cookies in a mug cake recipe” hybrid (aka your new favorite snack EVER):
- It’s a snack. MADE OF OTHER SNACKS. Because why snack once when you could do it MULTIPLE TIMES in ONE bite.
Go big or GO HOME my peeps.
- I made aforementioned vegan coconut flour mug cake snackinasnack from fun, tasty products that I got inside my Gluten Free Love with Food Snack Box!
Have ya’ll hear about Love with Food and their subscription snack boxes? Grab a seat (and a mug) and lemme just blow your hungry-snacking-mind for one second.
Ps. are we saying the word “snack” too much? Is there such thing as too much snackin’? I’m voting “no” on this important life topic.
So, Love with Food. Their motto is “snack smart and do good.” I meannnnn, who does not agree to such a saying amIright? They’re going to help Y-O-U get through the so-hungry-imma-heat-my-arm feelin’s that happen between lunch and dinner because they discover SUPER YUMMY organic, all-natural or gluten-free snacks and then deliver them to your door monthly.
AND IN A FUN RED BOX.
Think of them as the Santa of snacks. And when you open your door to this foodie gift, you’re going to get ALL THE FEELS that you get on Christmas morning.
But, EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.
Just when you thought it could not get one ounce better lemme just tell you this: they even donate a portion of the proceeds to help fight childhood hunger in the U.S and around the world.
S-E-E? “Snack smart. Do good.” It’s a REAL THING YO’.
You know what else is real? My love for the raw + chia Barney Butter almond butter and the Emmy’s Organics Lemon Ginger Macaroons that I found in my last snack box. These macaroons though.
Like, HOLY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY.
They’re tender, chewy, super sweet but a little tangy and basically the world’s most perfect raw cookie that has ever existed in this galaxy. Big shoes to fill, these little cookies have.
But, they FILL THEM JUST FIIIIINE.
And inside a vegan coconut flour mug cake? <– Probably also good inside microwave strawberry protein mug cake! Lemon + strawberries = <3
It’ll fill YOU even FIIIIIINE-R
Just go with it.
