• 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:
  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a microwave-safe mug or small bowl suitable for steaming.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Once cooked, allow the mugcake to cool slightly, then enjoy warm.
