Ingredients:

3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 packets natural no-calorie sweetener

1/4 tsp. baking powder

3 tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk

2 tsp. light butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup berries, or more for topping

3 tbsp. light whipped topping (thawed from frozen)

Directions:

Spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick spray. Add flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Mix well.

Add all remaining ingredients except berries and whipped topping. Using a fork, whisk until uniform.

Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, or until set.

Immediately run a knife along the edges to help separate the cake from the mug. Gently shake mug to release, and transfer cake to a plate. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
