Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon divided
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup mashed banana
  • 1/3 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tsp powdered stevia divided
  • 1 Medjool date pitted
  • 1 –2 tsp water as needed for date paste
  • 2 tbsp fat-free cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, 1/2 tsp of the ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the mashed banana, 1/3 cup low-fat Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp stevia to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  3. In a separate small bowl or mini food processor, combine the pitted Medjool date, remaining 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1–2 tsp water; blend or mash until a soft, spreadable paste forms.
  4. Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug, then spoon half of the batter into the mug and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Spread about 3/4 of the date-cinnamon paste over the batter in the mug, then top with the remaining batter and smooth the surface.
  6. Dollop the remaining date mixture on top of the batter, then microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, or until the top is set and the center springs back lightly when pressed.
  7. While the mug cake cooks, stir together the cream cheese, 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt, remaining 1/2 tsp stevia, and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Let the mug cake rest for 1 minute after microwaving, then spoon the cream cheese icing over the warm cake and serve.

Notes

- Start with 60 seconds of microwave time; add 10–15 seconds only if the center still looks wet.
- If the batter seems too thick before baking, stir in 1–2 tsp milk or water until just spoonable.
- For easier mixing, bring the cream cheese to room temperature before preparing the icing.
- Leftover icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
