I feel like I am cheating when I think about a Sugar Free Avocado Mug Cake.
While technically it is a cake, it is made with avocado and no added sugar in it.
Sugar Free Avocado Mug Cake
Avocados are the healthy fat that the experts seem to like.
That makes me happy as I am a fan of the avocado. Avocados taste really good alone or in recipes such as this one.
Thankfully, avocados have some good nutrient in them.
They are a good source of Vitamin C. Avocados also have a good amount of fiber.
Avocados also have folate, Vitamin B-6, and Vitamin K. By the way, Avocados are a fruit that many of us like to grow indoors.
Avocados can add more than just taste to a recipe.
In a recipe, such as this one, adding an avocado means that we are adding a fat, that is a good one. This fat is responsible for a more luscious cake texture that few other fats can add to a sugar free cake.
