Even the most boring of desserts can be transformed into something magical with a little Nutella. This mug cake is the perfect example – it’s made with simple ingredients like cocoa powder, sugar, and egg, but the addition of Nutella makes it a dessert that’s out-of-this-world delicious.

9. Chocolate Chip Cookie
A lot of people who live alone are hesitant to bake cookies since they think they won’t be able to eat the whole batch before it goes stale. But with this single-serving microwave chocolate chip cookie recipe, there’s no need to worry!

10. Coconut Mug Cake
I know we’ve had quite a lot of mug cakes on this list, but can you really ever have too many? This coconut mug cake is light, fluffy, and has just the right amount of sweetness.
I always go a little overboard with the coconut flakes because, well, I love coconut! But you can use as much or as little as you want.

Not all cakes have to be loaded with sugar and butter to be delicious. This carrot cake is a wonderful example – it’s made with healthy ingredients like carrots, cinnamon, and almond milk, but it still tastes absolutely fantastic.
