5-minute Espresso Fudge Breakfast Mug Cake
Why can’t I have cake for breakfast?
And why can’t I have it now, hot and gooey?
A hot fudge espresso cake that takes only 2 minutes to prepare, 3 minutes to cook, and for breakfast whose in? Um me !!!
Usually, warm baked goods are perhaps a weekend treat or something I have snuggled into my favourite cafe on a stormy day. With moody jazz playing and cups of wildly strong coffee.
Also completely overlooking the fact that cake is a treat! I’m not sure I’m exactly wanting cake for breakfast either because I imagine I would be hungry 5 minutes later with a dull headache.
This 5-minute fudge cup is not so! With oats, almonds, bananas, espresso, a touch of oil, maple syrup, and a few squares of dark chocolate it’s more really a hearty healthy banana muffin.
To truly make this cake a 3-minute cook I used my trusty microwave, you may want to cook it a little more or less depending on if you prefer it gooier or denser. If you like what you taste you can also mix the dry ingredients into a jar making this mix up even quicker.
