Ingredients (1 serving)

• 3 tablespoons fine blanched almond flour
• 1 tablespoon honey (or less if very sensitive to sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon homemade SCD yogurt OR coconut oil (for dairy-free)
• 1 large egg
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (SCD-legal)
• Pinch of baking soda
• Optional for flavor:
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon or a sprinkle of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon mashed banana or applesauce (adds moisture + natural sweetness)

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the egg, honey, yogurt (or oil), and vanilla.
2. Add almond flour, baking soda, and any optional flavorings. Mix until smooth.
3. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, checking at 60 seconds. The cake should rise and look set in the center. (If baking in the oven: 350°F for 10–12 minutes.)
4. Cool slightly before serving — the texture improves as it rests.

Kid-Friendly Toppings

• Whipped cream from SCD yogurt (whip well-drained homemade yogurt until fluffy).
• Fresh fruit: blueberries, sliced strawberries, or banana slices.
• Birthday sprinkles alternative: finely chopped nuts or tiny diced dried fruit (like apricots or dates).
