Ingredients

4 servings

1 tablespoon butter, melted 2 tablespoons full fat cream cheese 2 tablespoons coconut flour 1 tablespoon granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®) ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 medium egg ¼ teaspoon maple extract, or more to taste 3 drops vanilla extract 6 frozen raspberries (Optional)

Quick Chicken Stir-Fry

Instructions

Step 1

Start by popping the butter and cream cheese into a mug and microwaving it on high for about 1 minute and 20 seconds, until they’re soft and melty. Stir in the coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder until everything is nicely combined. Next, crack in the egg along with the maple and vanilla extracts, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mug so nothing’s left behind. Gently press a few frozen raspberries into the batter. Microwave again on high for another 1 minute and 20 seconds, or until the cake feels set when you touch it. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in!
