I baked this Vegan Strawberry Mug Cake for my friend’s dinner party last weekend. The strawberries gave it real berry flavor, and my niece loved it.
Quick and Delicious Vegan Strawberry Mug Cake
This mug cake is incredibly simple and bursts with berry flavor. Made with fresh strawberries and a few pantry staples, it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and bake, serving one person perfectly.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1-1.5 minutes, checking for doneness. The cake should be firm to the touch and spring back when lightly pressed.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying it directly from the mug. Optionally, top with more strawberries or a drizzle of maple syrup.
