Instructions are the same for all 3 mug cakes. Here are the steps:

We recommend using quinoa and buckwheat flours in these recipes because they're good sources of fibre and protein and other vitamins + minerals! Feel free to substitute for any other low FODMAP flour you have. Here’s a guide to low-FODMAP flours, if you need one.
