What Makes This Mug Cake GLP-1 Friendly?

A GLP-1-friendly mug cake is tailored to meet your dietary needs while offering ample flavor. Here's what makes this dessert not just tasty but also beneficial:

Understanding GLP-1 and Its Benefits

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that plays a pivotal role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. Here's how it helps:

• Slows stomach emptying: This can enhance feelings of fullness, helping you manage portion sizes.
• Enhances insulin secretion: It aids in better blood glucose control, making it ideal for those with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
• Supports weight management: By promoting satiety, GLP-1 can help you avoid unnecessary snacking.

Key Ingredients That Support a GLP-1 Diet

To ensure our mug cake is aligned with GLP-1 dietary recommendations, we incorporate powerful ingredients:

• Protein powder: Using Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder provides essential protein while keeping sugars low.
• Nut or seed flour: Almond or coconut flour adds healthy fats and fiber that contribute to satiety.
• Eggs: They provide structure and an extra boost of protein.
• Low-calorie sweetener: Opting for monk fruit or stevia allows for sweetness without spiking blood sugar.
• Berry "jelly" center: Adding mashed berries mixed with chia seeds gives a delightful jelly filling while also enhancing fiber content.

How to Choose the Right Protein Powder

Selecting the right protein powder is crucial for achieving the best texture and flavor:

• Stick with casein, pea, or brown rice protein for optimal moisture and flavor in mug cakes.
• Opt for unsweetened or low-sugar powders to minimize sugar intake.
• Avoid powders loaded with added sugars or maltodextrin.

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Mug Cake

Creating your Christmas Morning GLP-1 Friendly Protein Mug Cake is simple. Follow these steps for a festive treat that's sure to impress:

Gathering Your Ingredients (1 serving)

• ¼ cup Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1–2 tbsp almond or coconut flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1–2 tbsp granular monk fruit or similar sweetener
• 1 large egg or 2–3 egg whites
• 2–4 tbsp milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 2–3 tbsp mashed berries + 1 tsp chia (quick "jelly")
• Optional: ¼ tsp vanilla, pinch of cinnamon, tiny pinch of salt

Mixing and Cooking the Mug Cake

1. Make the "jelly": In a small bowl, mix the mashed berries with chia seeds and let sit for a few minutes to thicken into a jelly-like consistency.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a greased microwave-safe mug, combine the Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder, almond or coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt.
3. Add wet ingredients: Whisk the egg and milk into the dry mix until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
4. Layer the "jelly": Pour half of the batter into the mug, add the berry "jelly" in the center, and then top with the remaining batter.
5. Microwave: Cook for approximately 60–90 seconds on high, adjusting based on your microwave's power. The cake should be set yet moist.

Tips for Achieving the Best Texture

For the perfect mug cake, consider these tips:

Adding Flavor Variations and Toppings

• Spice it up: Enhance your cake with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a holiday flair.
• "Powdered sugar" top: Use powdered erythritol to mimic powdered sugar without the sugar.
• Boost protein: Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or high-protein yogurt for an added kick.
• Custom fillings: Experiment with various fillings like sugar-free jam or apple-chia mix.

Storage Tips and Leftovers

• This mug cake is best enjoyed warm right after cooking for optimal flavor and texture.
• Should you have leftovers, cool it down, cover it, and refrigerate for 1–2 days. To revive, gently reheat in the microwave with a splash of milk to restore moisture.
