3 minute Banting Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake

30 June 2015

I created this recipe because I adore cinnamon rolls but I’m not a fan of the prep time and more obviously I am definitely not pleased with how unhealthy these can be. My version of this delicious treat can be made, ready to eat in 3 minutes flat. This cake is surprisingly moist, it has every flavour of a cinnamon roll, it’s easier and last but definitely not least, clean-up is a breeze! I love the idea of mug cakes because really, what dessert can be made so quickly and taste so decadent yet still be low in carbs? – That’s right...this cake!
