Chia seed mug cake

This chia seed mug cake is quite healthy because it is made from chia seeds. The chia seeds give the mug cake a super grainy texture similar to black poppy seeds. Mug cakes are always the easiest convenience when you need a break from baking entire cakes. If you love the comfort of mug cakes, check out my Herschey’s chocolate mug cake!

The best thing about mug cakes is how cozy they are! You can eat it in one sitting. The best thing to do is to let it cool before digging in. I love topping mine with ice cream but whipped cream or chocolate sauce works wonders. The key thing about a mug cake is to prep the mug with oil or melted butter. Then you add all the ingredients and whisk it with a fork or tiny whisk. I don’t recommend microwaving the mug cake for more than 1 minute. When you take out the mug cake from the microwave, the sides of the cake should have pulled inwards and the cake should have risen higher in the cake. Normally when you pat the cake, it should feel fluffy and springy. It is not a good sign if you see any liquid running around in the mug.

Serve this warm with your favourite ice cream so that it seeps into the mug cake. This chia seed mug cake is such a yummy breakfast which is also healthy.
