This recipe is not only incredibly quick and easy, but amazingly delicious as well. It’s simple enough to whip up a serving for just two, or to double or triple for your Friendsgiving festivities. Check out the directions below on how to re-create this delicious dessert!

Ingredients

(Makes 1-2 servings depending on the size of mug)

• 7 tablespoons yellow cake mix
• 3 tablespoons softened coconut oil
• 1/2 an egg (lightly beaten)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• Non-stick cooking spray
• Grade A maple syrup
• Whipped cream
• Brown sugar

Directions

1. Combine cake mix, coconut oil, and egg in a bowl, mix well, then fold in chopped pecans.
2. Spray the inside of a microwave-safe coffee mug with non-stick cooking spray, and fill 3/4 of the way full with batter.
3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes then check the center of the cake with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean then the cake is done, otherwise microwave cake in 30-second intervals until fully cooked.
4. Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes, then top with whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of brown sugar! Serve immediately and enjoy!
