A moist Paleo Gingerbread Mug Cake studded with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and topped off with a tangy lemon glaze all made in a matter of minutes!
People always ask us how we write the posts:
Do you take turns writing recipes?
Do you work on recipes together?
Does one write the posts and the other makes the recipes?
Well, I’m answering these questions because we never actually addressed them! We mostly take turns writing recipes, Bethany will make a recipe and I will do the same, so each recipe is mostly made by one of us.
We are a team and try to divide the duties of the blog evenly and take on different roles to keep it up and running. You may notice different styles of writing (and thats why!).
We love working together and are always helping each other come up with new ideas. Bethany is famous for making the breakfast pizzas while I specialize in mug cakes galore.
I can’t even begin to express my love for gingerbread, or mug cakes. I love both of them dearly. This mug cake is my first attempt at using cassava flour, which is now one of my favorite flours. It looks exactly like regular flour and can be subbed 1:1 in most recipes, plus it’s paleo.
This Gingerbread Mug cake is filled with so much goodness, you would never know that it’s actually good for you! It is studded with dried cranberries, white chocolate chips and topped with a tangy lemon glaze. And the best part is, it’s single serving and made in less than 2 minutes!
