Pineapple Upside Down Mug Cake
A Low-Calorie Retro Favourite!
For a sweet trip down memory lane, this is the mug cake for you! Only, this Lo-Dough recipe is both quick and extremely low-calorie.
By switching out the flour found in the original recipe for blitzed up Lo-Dough crumbs and the sugar for a high-quality sweetener, you massively reduced the calories. What's more, there is very little fat needed (just the egg yolk), so feel free to serve with a blob of cream or creme fraiche and still easily come in at under 300 kcal.
Eaten without the creamy accompaniment, this cake is an incredible 176 calories and would make a perfect fibre-packed breakfast!

- 1 piece of
Lo-Dough , blitzed to fine crumbs - 1 large egg, beaten
