Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 large strawberry chopped
  • rainbow sprinkles for garnish optional

Instructions

  • In a mug, combine the dry ingredients... coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Mix and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the wet ingredients... butter, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and egg.
  • Beat until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry.
  • Stir using a fork until the batter is smooth and very slightly lumpy. Make sure you get all the flour incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  • Top with chopped strawberries.
  • Stir gently.
  • Into the microwave for 90 seconds.
  • Garnish with strawberry and sprinkles, or you can top it with whipped cream, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

* for a dairy-free option - use vegan butter in equal parts and use coconut milk instead of fat-free milk.
** for a completely refined sugar free option - omit the rainbow sprinkles, I just added them for garnish for the birthday cake!
