Weight Watchers Mug Cake

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (or a sugar substitute like Stevia or Splenda for fewer points)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon fat-free Greek yogurt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug or ramekin to make your cake in. Make sure it’s large enough to accommodate the cake as it will rise while cooking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the mug, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar (or sugar substitute), baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth.
4. Add Greek Yogurt: Gently fold in the tablespoon of fat-free Greek yogurt. This will add moisture and creaminess to your cake.
5. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The cooking time can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so keep an eye on it. The cake should rise and become firm to the touch.
6. Cool: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before enjoying. Be cautious; it will be hot.
7. Optional Toppings: If you want to add some extra flavor without many additional points, consider topping your mug cake with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping or some fresh berries.
