Gingerbread Mug-Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free)

Christmas is over. But that doesn’t mean that one can’t enjoy a Christmassy treat, right?

One of personal sweet favourites around Christmas time is gingerbread. It’s a classic thing in Germany and I just love the flavour, especially when combined with chocolate 🙂

So I decided to create a gingerbread inspired mug-cake, including spice and all things nice 🙂 A perfect treat for those cold winter days. But, you know, it even tastes great in summer…

As always, this recipe for spiced mug-cake is vegan, gluten-free and also oil-free.
