Health With Bec - Mugcakes
- Tame the Microwave Monster: If your mug cake goes wild, it could be due to a blazing microwave. Reduce the heat by setting it to medium (around 600-700W) and start with 90-110 seconds, adding more if needed. An extra 10-30 seconds might be necessary, depending on your microwave's quirks.
- Consistency is Key: If your mix is feeling a bit too thick, rescue it with a tablespoon of water or coconut oil. This quick fix will ensure your cake is moist and fluffy, not dry and dense. If your mix is too runny, add a dash more of the dry powder to your mug. Aim for the consistency of a thick cake batter.
- Mug is the New Plate: Why bother with extra dishes when you can savour your creation straight from the mug? Keep it moist and flavourful by adding your favourite toppings directly into the mug and indulging right away! This also saves it from drying out quickly.
- Patience Pays Off for Egg-Free Delights: For egg-free mug cakes using 1-2 Tbsp of coconut oil instead of egg-white, a little extra microwave time may be needed. While it might be a tad more crumbly, it's still a delightful treat straight from the mug!
- Banish Dryness with a Dash of Oil: Feeling like your mug cake resembles the Sahara? Fear not! A teaspoon or tablespoon of coconut oil can work wonders, infusing your creation with moisture and transforming it into a delectable delight.
- To Make with Egg or Coconut Oil? We strongly suggest making it with an egg white. Egg white definitely makes it rise more (bigger which is always better, right?) We just wanted to cater for the women who have egg sensitivities with this option.
- Grab a Large Mug: This sweet treat is about to blow your mind (and your taste buds). Trust me, when we say double the size, we mean double the deliciousness!
Let's turn those potential mishaps into mouth-watering victories! Enjoy every spoonful of your protein-packed mug cake adventure
I help women who have ‘tried it all’ quit the yo-yo dieting, slim down and lose the bloat - without the hunger or restriction.
My own gut healing, slow thyroid & yo-yo dieting journey, mixed with my love for helping women fuels me daily to change the lives of women who are nearly ready to give up.
I have helped tens of thousands of women with my programs worldwide and my passion never stops!
Why I wanted to create these:
I've been eating mug cakes for years now, using easy recipes that I have created and feature in my programs and on my website. Ever since I realised that a sugar free, gluten free lifestyle would work best for my gut and thyroid concerns 9 years ago, I HAD to find alternative ways to still enjoy my favourite sweet foods to manage my weight and the bloat. I didn't want to feel like I was missing out!
I love having them for breakfast, occasionally for lunch or when I feel like a filling snack. However, I really don't like making mess in the kitchen and, even though my recipes are super quick, I love finding ways to make them even quicker to fit in with my busy life! That's why I'm so excited about these mug cakes that we've created because (nearly) everything’s there, right in the bag, for zero mess and a meal made in 2 minutes! I also know how much the women inside my programs love the mug cakes, because, just like me, they are busy and need meals that are as quick, easy and tasty as possible.
How are they different to other ones on the market:
- They are extremely high in protein. I always recommend to aim for at least 20 - 40g protein in each main meal to ensure that you meet your protein goals for the day and stay full. With these mug cakes having at least 20 g protein, they hit the mark, unlike others on the market which often sit at around 10 g.
- They are also made with super clean ingredients, plus sugar, gluten and dairy free (which can help so many women with gut issues, inflammatory concerns or autoimmunse disease), and also egg free if you choose to make it with coconut oil! Lots of women have intolerances to eggs, so this makes these cakes stand out compared to others. I really wanted the egg free women to enjoy these!
My topping suggestions
- ¼ cup of Fresh or Frozen Berries like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries
- 2 tbsp. of Coconut Yoghurt
- 3 tbsp. of Greek Yoghurt
- 1 tbsp. toasted coconut flakes
- ¼ cup sliced banana
- A drizzle of peanut butter
- 1 tbsp. flaked almonds, walnut crumbs or pecans
When to eat them?
They make the best breakfast! Or, occasionally, if you're pressed for time, for lunch! You can also enjoy them for more of a substantial snack or dessert.
Also, you can absolutely eat these in place of any of the breakfasts in my 3 Week Body Reset meal plan (step 1) or the Health with Bec Tribe (step 2) meal plans.
