- Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 30g Greek yogurt
- 40g oat flour with a croissant flavor (or substitute plain oat flour and a dash of vanilla extract)
- 10g pistachio cream
- 4g vanilla-flavored baking powder
- Chocolate chips (optional)
- Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, oat flour, pistachio cream, and baking powder. Mix well until the batter is smooth. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the mixture into a microwave-safe mug or small bowl suitable for steaming.
- To cook, you can either use a bain-marie (water bath) in the oven or steam over boiling water. If using a bain-marie, place the mug in a larger baking dish filled with hot water that comes up about halfway up the sides of the mug. Bake at a moderate temperature (about 175°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- If steaming, cover the mug with a plate or lid and place it in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 25-30 minutes or until the cake rises and sets.
- Once cooked, allow the mugcake to cool slightly, then enjoy warm.
