Everyone loves desserts, and even more, everyone loves convenience. That’s why I’m giving you the best of both worlds with some of my favorite microwaveable healthy sweet treats recipes. I have always been a sucker for dessert, but with more and more research pointing towards refined sugars as the culprit for weight gain and many health conditions, I’ve decided to stay away from it as much as possible and make more healthy choices. That’s where these delicious bites come into play. I found these easy mug dessert recipes that I know you’ll love!
