Cinnamon Roll In A Mug (Lectin Free)

Let’s face it. If you are in the lectin-free/plant paradox crowd, there just aren’t a lot of dessert options. This Cinnamon Roll In A Mug (Lectin Free), though, saves the day. It’s yummy, flavorful, and easy. Best of all, it is phase 2 and phase 3 friendly!

Cinnamon Roll In A Mug (Lectin-Free):
1/4 c. Almond flour
2 Tbsp (15g) Cassava flour
2 Tbsp Millet or Coconut flour (see below)
1/2 tsp. Psyllium husk powder
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
2-3 servings Stevia (drops or powder)
1 Tbsp Oil or melted butter
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/3 c. Milk beverage or water
1 1/2 Tbsp Coconut sugar (see below for substitutions)
1 tsp Cinnamon

About the Ingredients

Almond flour is usually blanched, which means no almond skins. Make sure your almond flour/meal is a pale yellow color, not speckled with the dark brown skins. (Almond skins aren’t allowed on this diet.)

Cassava is allowed starting in phase 2, as is coconut flour. Wait until phase 3 before doing millet, however. If you’re in phase 2, use coconut flour; if you’re in phase 3 use millet. (Or use coconut either way, it just ends up being a little less ‘cake’-ish.

The coconut sugar is not technically allowed in the plant paradox diet. But it is lectin-free! I believe Dr. Gundry doesn’t do any calorie-containing sweeteners, but if your goal is to avoid lectins (as is ours), you’re fine with coconut sugar. Just don’t overdo it and eat it all the time in large quantities. Other options include natural sugar cane like sucanat or panela, date sugar, or maple sugar.

Substitutions for coconut sugar which are approved include erythritol, stevia, or several calorie-free brown sugar replacers (usually make with erythritol, stevia, and/or monkfruit, just make sure it’s not artificially sweetened).

The Process

It looks like a lot, but it’s easy. Place all the ingredients in a large mug up until the sugar and cinnamon. Skip those two. It doesn’t matter what order you add them in, then mix it all up.

The ‘batter’ will start off runny, and quickly start to thicken. It will get quite thick if you use coconut flour. That’s fine, just mix it up as normal, either with a spoon or small whisk.

Now, add the coconut sugar to the top of your batter, right in the mug. Follow it with the cinnamon. Mix it all just a few times to gently distribute the sugar and cinnamon, but I prefer them not fully mixed in. I simply run my spoon down one side, scoop up from the middle, and repeat about 3-4 times.

Microwave time will vary based on the microwave, but for me it’s 80 seconds (1 minute 20 seconds). Note: the top will look uncooked, even if it’s actually overcooked. Don’t assume it’s not done yet until you start eating it. If in fact the middle is gooey, pop it back in the microwave.

Eat it warm, and enjoy every bite!
