Notes
I used sugar-free syrup as my sweetener. You can use regular syrup, regular sugar, coconut sugar or a sugar substitute. All work with the texture of the mug. I used apple sauce to replace some of the oil. If you want a little less carbs and are OK with more calories and fat, feel free to replace the applesauce with oil, teaspoon to teaspoon.
