Below is the original Molten Mug Recipe I was given, that inspired me to find a healthier version. When reading the recipe below, you can stick to the original or make Balanced Beauty substitutions, as listed for another gluten-free, dairy-free cake option!

Balance is key to living a healthy lifestyle!…I am all about looking good, while remaining sane and realistic by indulging in sweets, like cake, every so often. Indulging helps to keep me on-track for the long-term.

All my recipes are designed to satisfy your sweet tooth, while also being mindful of better ingredients for your body and digestive system. If substituting and watching the ingredients you put into your body, you will look and feel better, guaranteed!

*Balanced Beauty Tip: When trying to lose weight, it is not about restricting yourself; rather, coming up with healthier alternatives and sticking to the theme of balance and moderation.*
