I am such a baby when it comes to scary things as well. Can’t even watch tv commercials or movie trailers. This recipe looks fabulous and so easy!
Scary TV commercials are THE WORST. You never know when they’re coming.
I used to be horror movie addict! Well, not really addict, but I loved to watch them a lot. Especially really bloody ones…(like Saw, I watched all of them, several times LOL), but not so much those psycho freaking movies. Now I haven’t watched a horror movie in forever, not sure why, I guess my preferences changed. But guess what, now I’m not scared in the dark anymore , go figure! HAHAHA 😀
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL. I’m more of a romantic comedy girl 🙂 #boring
Looks so thick, fluffy and delicious! YUM!
Two things: why no egg yolks? And, has anyone ever tried these recipes In a regular oven? I don’t use microwaves.
Hey Allison! I didn’t use the egg yolk because that’s a lot of egg for a single serve dessert! Usually a whole pan of brownies only has 2 eggs and that’s for 9-12 servings! You could totally bake this. I’d go 350 for maybe 15-20 minutes!
I’m only replying in case someone reading this now has the same question about the egg – you can use the entire thing and it works great. I know the fate of an egg yolk if I “keep it to use later”…So I just threw the whole thing in and reduced the milk a smidge and it was perfect! This is probably one of the best mug cakes I’ve had.
No answer for the oven, but it is answered above.
Thanks for letting us know the whole egg works <3
This looks amazing! And I’m so grateful because 2 years ago I discovered the awesomeness that are mug-cake but since then I transitioned to a healthy diet and didn’t make any since (all that white flour and refined sugar didn’t make it that appealing). But I have tons of coconut flour at hom and always wonder what to do with it, so mug cake for dinner it shall be! 😀
ps: On the scary front: in high school my best friend and I watched tons of horrors/thrillers and didn’t even blink at all the gore/thrill/suspense. But since I’ve grown up (this sounds ridiculous lol) I got scared and don’t want to watch anything horror-like. I like some investigating series like The Mentalist etc. but no horrors thanks.
I’ve never heard of someone growing into being scared of scary movies! That’s hilarious. Welcome to the club!
Hi Lee , is there a reason why you re not adding the egg yolk.”?
Hey Annie! I didn’t add the yolk because a full egg is a lot for 1 serving! Usually in a pan of brownies or a cake, I only use 2 eggs, so by using just the egg white, it cuts down on liquid!
I have yet to hop on the mug cake bandwagon, but this sure makes me want to!
WAHHHHHHH. Get on it girlfran.
hi Lee,
hmmm its looks pretty its seems delicious i’m quite excited to try it.
My in-laws were here this weekend and pretty much freaked out when I told them I had NEVER been to an apple orchard. So clearly I need to get on that too!
In other news: I want 10 of these delicious thangs for breakfast! Pinned!
WHAT!!! Omg it’s SOOOOO fun! And a great place for a photo opp with the hubs 🙂
Ummm pretty sure we are twinsies. I can’t even watch a preview of a scary movie without really wanting to close my eyes. In fact, usually I just look away and my husband laughs at me. And how about all the rather scary TV shows on these days!? Can’t even watch those commercials. I change the channel or close my eyes again :-p
This mug cake looks fantabulous though! Can’t wait to try it out! Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend 🙂
Doode I am the same exact way EXCEPT I did man up and start watching The Walking Dead. The lights have to be on and someone has to be in the room with me 😀
Oh man you are BRAVE. We tried watching that last year and I pretty much had my eyes covered for the first 15 minutes… then preceded to get on my phone so I didn’t have to watch :-p
LOLZ. I am brave, aren’t I!
