Recipe Notes
Cooking times will vary based on size and thickness of mug and size and power of microwave. It's better to cook for less time and then add short bursts until done, otherwise if you cook it too long, your gingerbread may become dry and spongy.To measure the egg, whisk one large egg in a small airtight container. Measure the 2 tablespoons as instructed, cover and refrigerate the remaining egg for up to 2 days.One small egg can be used in place of the 2 tablespoons of measured beaten egg.To make this dessert gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with an all-purpose gluten-free flour of your choice. Make sure you are using gluten-free baking powder.Serving size: 1 gingerbread mugClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.8*PointsPlus (Old plan)
