Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

I wondered if anyone had tried making a savoury version of the "cake in a mug"? You could mix a corn puree with flour, and perhaps add onion powder? Corn can be used as a fat substitute in baking after all. Any thoughts?

I hadn't heard of "cake in a mug" before, but using puree'd corn as a fat substitute sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

Katherine,

I've always looked at those cake in a mug boxes and sighed with longing. It never occurred to me to make a savory one. Have you googled it? Wouldn't it a matter of taking some other savory quick bread recipe and cutting the portions.

I will poke around.

I just did a quick search and found some recipes - I haven't actually read many of them yet but some might be McDougall compliant.

This one is savory, but oat-flour based. Maybe cornmeal would work instead? I will have to try it. The recipe has oil but that can be left out, or corn puree could be substituted? Or pumpkin/squash?

Thank you, Katherine for suggesting this idea! I love corn, and am sure that a corn-based mug cake would be delightful. I am now on an official Quest of the Savory Muffin .
