Can I make a Lotus Biscoff mug cake without eggs?

Yes! This recipe doesn’t need eggs to work. In fact, it’s even softer and fluffier without them. Just skip the egg or use 1 tbsp applesauce or mashed banana.

How do you melt Biscoff spread for mug cake recipes?

If the spread is too stiff, warm it in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before stirring it in. This helps it incorporate more smoothly into the batter and creates a silkier texture.

Is Biscoff mug cake suitable for vegans?

Absolutely. Just use plant-based milk like oat or almond, and make sure your chocolate chips (if added) are dairy-free. Most Biscoff spreads are naturally vegan.

What kind of mug is best for microwave mug cakes?

Use a 12–14 oz ceramic mug that’s microwave-safe. Avoid metal or small cups — they can cause overflows or uneven cooking.

What causes my Lotus Biscoff mug cake to turn out rubbery or dry?

Overmixing or overcooking is often the cause. Stir gently, and microwave for just 60–70 seconds. Let it rest before eating to lock in moisture.

Can I add chocolate chips or cookies to a Biscoff mug cake?

Yes, and you should! Chocolate chips melt beautifully, and crushed cookies on top add crunch.
