I love making a healthy mug cake recipe; sometimes you just need something sweet but don't want to make a huge mess or make a full dessert that goes to waste. Or if you're like me... having a giant plate of cookies in the house or a cake waiting to be cut into is a little too tempting. But girlfriend, hear me when I say this - It's OKAY to indulge once in a while as long as it's in moderation. If you want to eat the cake, eat the damn cake! I just love this healthy mug cake recipe because it's the perfect guilt-free sweet treat I can enjoy (even when it's not my birthday 😋)

This healthy mug cake recipe tastes just like a CinnaBun but has WAY less sugar and other stuff that makes you feel blech.

It's super easy and totally completes your little cake in a mug.
