You are exactly 5 minutes (or less) away from having this dessert. And no, this is not a joke. I know there are “mug cake mixes” you can buy in the grocery store – but seriously, save yourself the money and cut preservatives and artificial colors and flavors by making your own right at home! This mug cake pudding comes together with only 9 ingredients total, and it is super delicious and decadent down to the very last bite. I think homemade mug cakes are severely underrated when it comes to figuring out what to have for dessert – they are simple, short in baking time, and you only make ONE serving, which means you won’t have extras lying around you don’t necessarily want to eat later. Plus, the ingredients in this aren’t all that bad for you when it comes down to other things you could be eating. I hope you enjoy this warming treat as much as I do! 🙂
