Low Fat Mug Cake (3-2-1 cake)

On By JillIn Recipes, Weight Loss1 Comment

This mug cake is super easy to make and is great for a quick fix when you want sweets but don’t want all of the calories or fat.

To make this base for this you take one box of Angel Food Cake Mix and one box of regular cake mix and mix them together thoroughly. Then you this dry mixture and put it in a canister and label it as 321 cake mix.

  1. Spray a coffee mug with nonstick spray.
  2. Add 3 TBSP of the dry mix and 2 TBSP of water to the mug and mix.
  3. Bake in the microwave for about 1 minute.
  4. Carefully remove from the microwave and let cool for a minute.

You can eat it from the mug or remove it to a bowl or plate and top it with whatever you’d like. I used a strawberry cake mix and topped it with fresh strawberries and some fat-free whipped topping.

I chose strawberry cake mix for mine because I love strawberry cake and fresh strawberries are so good right now. You could also use a yellow cake mix, chocolate mix, or whatever flavor cake mix you like. If you use a sugar-free cake mix, the points/calories would be even lower.

Sheet Pan Eggs

These sheet pan eggs are so good and so easy to make that I make them almost every week. These can be prepped and cooked in just a few minutes and then you save the leftovers and heat them up throughout the week for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 6 ounces cheese
  • Nonstick spray
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk together until smooth.
  3. Spray a 9 x 9 pan lightly with nonstick spray. Pour eggs into the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Bake eggs for 12 minutes at 375. Eggs should be almost completely cooked through. It’s okay if it is still a little runny in the middle.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the cheese. Return to the oven for 3 minutes to melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.
  6. Remove from the oven and cut into 9 squares. They can be served immediately, or put in the fridge or freezer.

My favorite way to have this is to add it to an extra toasted English muffin with either pre-cooked thick sliced bacon or Canadian bacon and a little bit of mustard. You can also just eat this with a fork like scrambled eggs. I’ll often have one or two topped with a bit of salsa.

If you are cooking for a crowd, you can use a 9 x 13 pan with 12 eggs and a half cup of milk. Everything else is the same.
