Two-Minute Tiramisu With this easy mug cake recipe, you can treat yourself to a timeless Italian dessert without spending $12 at a restaurant. Better yet, the recipe contains no butter or added sugar, making it pretty guilt-free as far as microwave desserts go.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup oat flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg white
1 tablespoon espresso

For the cream filling:
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons cream cheese

Directions:
Combine oat flour, vanilla extract, egg white and milk, and microwave for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds until done. Pour espresso over top and let sit while you prepare cream filling.

For filling, cook egg yolks on double broiler over boiling water for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and whip yolks until thick. Add cream cheese to yolks, beat until combined.

Cut your mug cake in half. Take the top half off, scoop cream filling in the middle, then place the top half back on and layer the remaining cream on top. Top with nuts, if desired.
