O ne mug recipes are a relatively new concept in terms of convenience cooking. In this brief chapter, we are going to give you a quick introduction to one mug recipes including what makes a one mug recipe and why they might be a good choice for you!

- What is a One Mug Recipe?

What is a One Mug Recipe?
T he term one mug is quite self-explanatory when it comes to one mug recipes. These recipes are combined and cooked inside a single mug in order to create a single serving convenient dessert option. These mug based recipes are not only convenient due to their smaller serving size, but they are convenient due to just how quickly they can be prepared and cooked! One mug recipes are always cooked utilizing a microwave and, for the most part, are completely cooked and ready to eat in 30 to 60 seconds. These recipes can technically be for just about anything, but most commonly they are for desserts like pudding, cake, and custard.
What are the Benefits of One Mug Recipes?
A s we mentioned above, one mug recipes are quick to prepare and cook since you are only preparing and cooking enough ingredients for a single serving at one time. Additionally, because these smaller servings are cooked in the microwave rather than in the oven, they are quicker to cook than larger portion desserts cooked in the oven.
While convenience is certainly a great benefit for any recipe, another benefit that is appealing to dieters, is the low-calorie content of one mug recipes. Due to the serving size of one mug recipes, the calorie content is limited which means that carb and fat content are limited too. That is not to mention that a smaller dessert that is made inside a mug is much less of a temptation to someone who is dieting than a whole cake or pie. There is no possibility of going back for another slice when there isnt another slice to be had! Sure, you could spend time making a second serving, but during that time you have the opportunity to reconsider your decision. Overeating is much less convenient when you bake one serving of a dessert at a time.
But Are One Mug Recipes Tasty?
O ne concern for many people when they consider cooking one mug recipes is that cooking desserts in the microwave are not going to result in something as tasty as cooking desserts in the oven. Of course, if you are considering your great grandmas best cake recipe that takes hours to bake, you are going to notice a considerable difference in a microwave baked mug cake! The thing to remember, however, is that one mug desserts are designed for convenient access to a sweet treat rather than a gourmet cake baked for a special occasion. That isnt to say that one mug recipes arent going to be delicious, after all, you are still baking from scratch! Its just that the resulting product is not going to be the same type of dessert as you would find in your grandmother's kitchen.
What Kind of Desserts Can I Make with One Mug Recipes?
W hen first approaching one mug recipes, most people are already familiar with the famous one mug chocolate cake. This recipe that went viral on social media has unfortunately led people to believe that only this one cake can be made using the one mug cooking method. The truth is, however that there is as much variety in one mug dessert recipes as there is in regular dessert recipes! In the following chapters, we are going to include plenty of variety so that you can see for yourself that your one mug dessert doesnt always have to be chocolate cake!
Are One Mug Recipes Low Carb, Low Calorie?
S ince one mug recipes are single serving recipes and generally smaller than traditional servings, calorie and carb counts are usually lower. As with any recipe collection, however, the carb and calorie levels in this eBook vary from recipe to recipe and depending on the ingredient brands you use. What you can do, though, is check the individual counts of your specific ingredients in each recipe by using this online recipe calorie count calculator!
Can I Make Ingredient Substitutions in One Mug Recipes?
I n traditional recipes, ingredient substitution is common. Whether you have run out of a specific ingredient or whether you have allergies and sensitivities, ingredient substitutions are handy and can be implemented in one mug recipe as well. If you are interested in which ingredients can be substituted for what, take a look at the last chapter of the book for more information.
