Sometimes we just crave for a desert that is appealing to the palate and quick to make. A mug cake brings a soothing ease to that crave and hey no one likes doing a ton of dishes, mug cakes are an all round win. Now let’s get into what I have in store for you, a sweet and soft dessert cake with a touch of a cinnamon, soaked with caramelized apple cinnamon syrup (we excuse you for drooling)

Coconut Based Products

Key ingredient: Lazna.lk Coconut flour has a low glycemic index than traditional flour and it’s rich texture and natural sweetness makes it great for baking. It’s a popular flour to bake with for those who follow any grain restrictive diets including the paleo diet. Coconut flour is naturally gluten-free and rich with protein which makes it appealing to those with issues like wheat allergy, Celiac disease and non-Celiac gluten sensitivity.

Why add this to your diet? Help overall digestive health, high fiber that aids the digestive process. High fiber content also helps with slimming due to the healthy fats in the coconut and low GI which keeps you full for longer. High fiber and low carbs helps keep your blood sugar low whilst you indulge.
