German Chocolate Mug Cake

My mom gave our family a 5 minute mug cake recipe for Christmas a couple of years back and I LOVE it and I make it a lot when the kids and I need a quick and yummy sugar fix.  So, today I made a German Chocolate one.  It was so delicious!!!!  and I need to remember the recipe so, here it is.

5 minute German Chocolate Mug Cake



Put into a large microwavable mug then stir:
1 egg
3 Tbs. milk
3 Tbs. oil
2-3 drops Coconut extract

Add the dry ingredients and mix well:
1/4 C flour
1/4 C sugar
2Tbs. baking cocoa
1/4 C Caramel Bits* or mini chocolate chips (or both!)
1 Tbs chopped pecans
1-2 Tbs shredded coconut

Microwave for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.  Invert on a plate and top with caramel syrup.

If you've never seen caramel bits before, they look like this....

They are in the baking aisle, and I love their tiny size and that I don't have to unwrap!

I said a bang, bang, bangity bang.

That is right, we got to bang on our wall with a hammer! Let the renovation begin!

Tell me that this song doesn't stick in your head!

3 months!

My sweet girl is growing up so fast! She turned 3 months last week.  She is doing really well.  At her 2 month appointment she weighed 14 lbs.!  (13.15)  and was 24.5 inches long.  She was 95% weight and height.  She is such a great little addition to our family. 

Her shirt says, "Stripes are slimming".. cute, but I can still see her sweet little pudgy belly! ;)
