Veganised Microwave Sticky Toffee Pudding in a Mug

I love Chinese food and tangy fruity tastes. My husband eats German style meat pork bread potatoes not too open to being adventurous. My son has multiple allergies so can’t do dairy fish eggs most nuts kiwi or melon. So I find finding compatible foods hard. Hoping this app will help. I like the idea of vegan because it simplifies what we can all eat. But adding chicken or beef for us all or fish shellfish for me.

subheading: Sponge:

50g chopped dates

2 tbsp hot water

⅛ tsp baking soda (just a really tiny amount)

25g butter

1 ½ tbsp light brown sugar

2 tbsp beaten medium-sized egg (roughly half the egg)

1 ½ tbsp self-raising flour

You can see the ingredients are quite precise, and the below step-by-step method will show you how to put them in the correct order and when you need to microwave it.

This sticky toffee pudding in a mug is made for just one person or serving, however, you can easily make two at once, just measure into each mug and then do them one at a time in the microwave.

The baking soda is a really tiny amount. You just want a little bit to help soften the dates up.

The reason for using just two tablespoons of beaten egg is that if you use the whole egg then the sponge has too much of an “eggy” taste, rather than being light and caramel flavoured. If you’re making for two then you can just split the egg between the two mugs, but if you’re just doing for one then beaten egg will keep in the fridge covered for up to 2 days. So you can use it up in another recipe, or make another one the following day if you’re feeling indulgent!

No one said sticky toffee pudding was healthy! But that’s all the more reason why this microwave mug version makes a great little treat. You won’t be able to over-indulge like you might with a whole pudding, or is that just a problem in our house?
