Powered by Mom’s Healthy Mug Cake (but oh so yummy) Recipe – Paleo Cinnamon Coffee Mug Cake
I admit I love mug cakes because they are so quick to make and it’s one way to satisfy my sweet craving. I also love it when they are gluten-free so that I can avoid that gluten bloat. Most of all though I want the mug cake to be tasty so lucky me that this healthy mug cake gives me everything I need and don’t need in a recipe. I think you will love how flavourful and moist this Paleo Cinnamon Coffee Mug Cake is and you will definitely love that you can have it ready in five minutes or less.
While I do love pumpkin and fall is the season for pumpkin everything I decided for one of my first fall dessert recipes that I wanted something besides pumpkin. Another fall favourite of mine is cinnamon coffee cake but oh the sugar and calories in such a cake is enough to make one go into a sugar coma. So I decided it was time to get creative and try something gluten-free.
Since our Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake was so popular and seriously sinfully delicious I decided we needed to do another gluten-free one but this time we made one with almond flour. Between the fragrant cinnamon, coconut palm sugar, coconut oil and the vanilla this healthy mug cake smells and tastes like heaven. As you can see below we just need some simple, wholesome ingredients and we’re good to go.
Let’s get onto this healthy mug cake aka our Paleo Cinnamon Coffee Mug Cake shall we?

I just made this and was ready to dig in but noticed a slight ammonia odor & taste to it. A bitter aftertaste as well. Otherwise I can tell it would be so tasty. Could I have mixed the ingredients in some way for this to happen? Any other similar experiences?
