Low fat carrot mug cake with vegan options

wgreen39 @wintergreen

I haven’t eaten carrot cake in so long, usually I can only have one bite of normal cake without problems, I was craving a carrot cake so I adapted a recipe I found on the 101 Cooking for Two blog.

This recipe is #lowfat with about 12.1 grams of fat per serving. If you leave out the walnuts it reduces to 7.1 grams of fat per serving. #vegan options.

The original recipe calls for coconut flakes but I don’t like coconut so I left them out. It also calls for eggs but I used flax seed instead. Next time I might try 1/4 or 1/3 of an egg white.

The original recipe also calls for crushed pineapple instead of applesauce so you could experiment with that.

- Mostly whole food ingredients- Low fat (I have gallbladder issues)- No onions, shallots, etc (they give me migraines)- Rarely use sugar- Rarely use oil- Single or double servings- I try to use locally sourced ingredients
