This is your non-traditional dietitian post, but everyone needs a little cake sometimes. I'm sure you all have heard of cake in a cup, but it really is a great way to have your sweets in moderation. Rather than baking a whole cake you can make a small one for yourself or to share. The boy is a big fan of these, especially with a little peanut butter on top or chocolate chips mixed in. Get creative, but remember that just because they're smaller doesn't mean they're low calorie!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Water or milk as needed*
Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a mug.
2. Add vegetable oil and 1 Tbsp water/milk at a time. Stir. Based on the consistency, add more water/milk as needed. The mixture should look like cake batter or pudding.
3. Microwave for 70 seconds.
4. Garnish as desired. Enjoy!
