I called this recipe ”Gluten-free Mug Cake On-the-Go” because you can make it in your mason jar or a small microwave-safe container with a lid and bring it easily to work or school. This is a very convenient, guilt-free, and delicious snack to have during your busy week!
Yesterday I had my eyes fixed on the TV to watch the Final Women’s Gymnastics in Rio. I was dying to see the American Simone Biles doing her presentation because I’m a HUGE fan of her. Oh God… What is that woman??! Someone can pleeeeease explain to me how she can do all that?! She is AMAZING! Did you guys see her presentation yesterday? Biles has won the past three all-around competitions at the world championships. And yesterday she did again.
She got the highest score in this Olympics and got her well-deserved golden medal. All Brazilian TV channels were just talking about her and saying that Biles was the greatest gymnast in the sport’s history. How awesome is that?! I can’t image how proud Americans must be right now! In my opinion, she is like the new Michael Phelps. I have to say that the USA is a machine that creates good athletes. You guys are awesome 😉
So, what is also amazing is this Gluten-free Mug Cake On-the-Go. This is the third mug cake recipe of the week (this Gluten-free Dulce de Leche Mug Cake and Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake are the other two) and as you can see it is also gluten-free because it is made with oatmeal flour and banana.
This recipe is very moist because of the banana and Greek yogurt. It is pretty good for you, too since it doesn’t have flour, butter, or oil in there. It requires a little time to prepare and it needs only 3 minutes to be ready in the microwave.
This is definitely a delicious and filling snack you can make for your kids or yourself to bring to work. This is a great snack option to have at home watching the Olympic games (you just need to pour the cake mixture into two mugs or you can do as I did. I poured half of the cake mixture into a mug and the other half I poured into a container with a lid, making this an easy, flavorful, and guilt-free snack to have on-the-go. This way you can bring this cake with you easily. It’s very convenient, right? You can find more mug cakes like this one in this Top 8 Gluten-Free Mug Cake Recipes post!
So, I think I don’t need to say anything else to convince you to make this tasty cake today. Please try it and let me know how it turns out. Enjoy!
