If you've been anywhere near TikTok food trends, you've definitely seen the mug cake hack that allows you to whip up a fresh, piping hot cake for one in a mere minute. There are endless mug cake recipe variations! But they all follow the same brilliant formula: Mix dry ingredients like flour, sugar, cocoa powder, etc. with wet ingredients like milk, oil, and eggs right in a mug. Give it a stir, then zap it in the microwave for 60-90 seconds. Allow it to cool slightly, then feast on your own personal molten lava cake!
Here's a healthier dessert option that couldn't be easier. Quite literally just chop up some strawberries and mix them into vanilla yogurt or Greek yogurt, lay them on a pan, and freeze until solid.

These TikTok recipe trends are amazing for meal prep ideas from healthy desserts to decadent comfort foods. Even better is that most are deceptively simple to recreate — no intense chef skills required. Start with one or two a week and mix up your usual menu without much extra effort. Your tastebuds will thank you.
