INGREDIENTS

1/2 c unsweetened apple sauce (I used a kid single serve)
dash of salt
3 T almond flour or 1 T coconut flour
2 T vanilla protein
1/2 tsp baking powder
handful of blueberries, fresh or frozen
¼ tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

STEPS

In a large coffee mug or bowl combine ingredients in order as listed. Stir well and microwave for 2-3 minutes covered with a paper towel. I used a cereal bowl and it took 2 1/2 minutes. Topped mine after with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of monk fruit sweetener. Have also added Greek yogurt to cool it off faster when I can’t wait.

Note: Great afternoon sweet tooth snack with a creamy coffee or to make it more of a meal, add 1 T of nut butter and a Greek yogurt or cottage cheese on top for a little more protein.
