I love mug cakes because they’re single-serve aka perfect for when you want something simple and quick.
This Blueberry Mug Cake is vegan, gluten-free, and made with oat flour.
I love making my own oat flour at home (you literally just put oats into a blender or food processor… see my tutorial in my Instagram highlights). It’s the cheapest gluten-free flour on the market and I love that it’s only one ingredient– oats!
This recipe also calls for a flax egg, a great alternative to a real egg for vegans or anyone with an egg allergy, and also a good source of fiber. I have flax egg tutorial (all you need is ground flax and water) in my Instagram highlights as well 😊

Can you use a real egg in this recipe?
Hi Emily! I haven’t personally tried it yet, but I had someone message me saying they used a real egg with success! 🙂

Can I bake this in the oven?
Yes, that should work! 🙂
I’m wondering at what temperature (350 perhaps?) and for how long?
I would try 350F for 20-30 minutes, but keey a good eye on it 🙂
