2-in-1

Guess what this post is gonna be about?
If you guessed more microwave desserts... You are correct.

I told you I am obsessed. But, hey, at least I admit it, right?! 

Ingredients:
1 tbsp dry oats
1 tbsp cinnamon roll protein powder
1/4 package cinnamon roll Duncan Hines Frosting Creations (optional... you can just use all protein powder, or just lots of cinnamon!)
1 tbsp pumpkin puree (adds moisture, not flavor!)
a few banana slices (optional, but recommended)
1 egg white
1 tbsp almond milk
1 tsp plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (heavy dash)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp maple syrup
pinch of salt
pinch of nutmeg
sprinkle of brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 packet of Stevia

Frosting:
1-2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp maple syrup
1/2 packet of Stevia (optional)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then pour into a sprayed microwave-safe mug.
(I also add in a sprinkle of cereals and granola. It adds such good texture! As does extra banana slices.)

Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for your frosting. Pour into a baggy, push to a corner, cut the tip.
After your cinnamon "roll" has cooled for a few minutes, pipe your frosting on top, and top with whatever else you'd like! (Let it cool for a little bit just so the "icing" doesn't immediately melt off!)
Then enjoy every single cinnamon-y bite!

Clean banana bread funfetti cupcake, anyone?
Ingredients:
1 tbsp oats
1/2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1 egg white
1/2 tsp sprinkles*
sprinkle of crushed Fruity Pebbles*
1 tbsp almond milk
1/2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 banana, melted in the microwave for 30 seconds (easiest to use overripe)
1 tbsp pumpkin puree (adds moisture, not flavor)
dash of cinnamon
pinch of salt
sprinkle of brown sugar
1 packet of Stevia
1/2 tsp baking powder

Frosting:
1-2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp maple syrup (or any other flavoring of your choice. You can add in some cocoa powder to make it chocolate frosting!)

1/2 tsp sprinkles and a sprinkle of crushed Fruity Pebbles to top*

*If you don't want to use Fruity Pebbles, just use as many sprinkles as you want! Surprisingly, 1/2 tsp comes out to be enough for at least a topping, but then again, I also used crushed Fruity Pebbles. I only used both of them because you can have quite a bit more for less calories/sugar/etc., and they also have a brighter color and fruiter flavor! I loved the addition, but again, it's all personal preference!

Directions:
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then pour into a sprayed microwave-safe mug.
(I usually always top with some extra banana, haha.)

Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, mix your frosting ingredients. After your cupcake has been plated, plop on your frosting, sprinkles, and any other fun additions!

I've been receiving some really great feedback on my microwave "clean" desserts, and it's inspiring me to get even more creative and experimental in the kitchen! Thank you to anyone who has tried any of my recipes, it means the world to me, and I'm so glad you like the result! I appreciate it so much, so thanks a million!
