This single serve muffin is a perfectly quick and easy breakfast made in 2 minutes in a mug to go! It's low carb, dairy free, gluten free and sugar free!
This recipe is an adaption of some of my other single serve muffins, Mint Chocolate Flax Muffin, Peanut Butter Flax Muffin and my Pumpkin Flax Muffin. Each are one single serving and easy to make in under 5 minutes!
I removed it from the mug so you could see it better but obviously it is easier to just eat with a spoon right in the mug itself.
Anyone who is busy with work or family knows moms usually never eat breakfast or eat scrapes off their kids plates. I avoid this at all costs and work hard to ensure I eat a healthy breakfast to start my day. Making a quick breakfast is easy, choosing to make it a healthy one can be a challenge, but these mug muffins I've got going are the perfect solution!
If you've never tried a mug muffin you are in for a treat! Once you make them you will never complain about not having enough time for breakfast again. 🙂
Brenda's Notes:
- You can stir the ingredients right in the mug you are using to cook it with but I found it easier to combine in a shallow bowl then pour in the mug.
- You can use powdered stevia in the batter if you don't have liquid, I would suggest 1-2 packets or ¼ teaspoon pure stevia extract.
- You can also make this in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until you see it rise and cooked in the center.
- The nutrition info is with the icing on top, but if you were to eliminate it the nutrition info would be: Calories: 166, Fat: 9g, Cholesterol: 180mg, Sodium: 187mg, Carbs: 11.2g, Fiber: 7.7g, Sugars: .2g, Protein: 9.7g and Weight Watchers PointsPlus: 4*

One of these days i really need to get around to making a mug muffin/cake. These looks so good (and so easy!)
Brenda
So easy and quick!
Jessica
What can I sub for the flax seed? I'm allergic to it. Thanks!
Jeana
I had the same question, since I was out of flax seed. I ended up just using another tablespoon of coconut flour and it came out great!
Bonnie
I have made/eaten several of these and love them! I decided to make it quicker on a work morning to pre-mix the dry ingredients then just add the wet .
Brenda
Great idea!
Marly
I definitely have never tried a muffin mug before but I sure want to. Looks great!
Brenda
Thanks Marly!
Jessica (Savory Experiments)
Awesome idea! I'm so tired of the cookie in a mug- something new for when I just need a "taste" and not a whole batch!
Brenda
Thanks!
Dawn Lopez
Aww this are so adorable and they look equally delicious! Love the shape, so cute!
Brenda
Thank you!
Christiane ~ Taking On Magazines
I love the combination you put together for this one. It's definitely one of the more unique (and more tasty) mug cakes I've seen.
Brenda
Thanks!
Librarian Lavender
This looks so good! I will definitely forward the recipe to my friend Jada so she can make it for her new boyfriend!
Brenda
Thank you!
Bonnie
Could I substitute oat flour for the coconut flour? Sounds yummy!
Brenda
Yes but it will change the nutrition info.
Bonnie
I broke down & bought the coconut flour last night and made this for breakfast this morning. I didn't realize how many more calories, etc oat flour would have been until I looked it up! I don't have coconut butter, either so I sprinkled a little coconut sugar on top. SO good!! Thanks & keep up the good work!
Brenda
Thanks for sharing, happy you liked it!
Angie
I love how healthy these are and the small portion size is perfect!
Brenda
thanks Angie, it works for me as a busy mom of 3 so I eat breakfast!
Elizabeth@ Food Ramblings
Mug cakes are my favorite! I need to buy the ingredients, but then will definitely try it!
Brenda
Thanks!
Loretta
I have 2 thoughts/questions:
I get headaches from Stevia, any other suggestions to substitute? I usually use raw coconut nectar
What do you use for a topping?
Brenda
That's coconut butter mixed with water to thin it out then you can add any sweetener you like to it.
Heather
I will definitely try this! I love your other single serve muffin recipes!
Brenda
thanks!
Joelen
This is such a cute idea and a great way to portion control, considering if I make a batch of muffins, I tend to eat more than I should lol!
Brenda
Yes that's why I do it!
Rebecca {foodie with family}
This is such a great thing to teach kids to make for themselves, too! They need to learn self reliance for healthy snacks!
Brenda
Absolutely!
Lana @ Never Enough Thyme
What a nice idea. I often wind up throwing out a few from a batch of muffins since there are only two of us here. This is perfect for when one of us just wants a little treat!
Brenda
Thanks!
Erin
My son would love this for breakfast! He loves anything cinnamon, and this is perfect for busy mornings!
Brenda
My youngest loves cinnamon as well. 🙂
Ginny McMeans
How cute and it sounds really delicious!
Brenda
Thanks Ginny!
Lora @cakeduchess
What a fun and quick treat and love that it's sugar-free...now to make one for me later to enjoy with a hot cup of tea;)
Brenda
Oh it was so good with my coffee the other day and of course you will love it with some hot tea as well!
Rose | The Clean Dish
I love every single one of these ingredients!
I'll have to try the baked version as we don't have a microwave but I don't mind the extra waiting time. I make jar cakes all the time but I'm new to mug cakes! Exited to try this - I'll make one for my husband tomorrow morning, I bet he'll love it!!
Brenda
Thanks Rose!
Connie | URBAN BAKES
Making one serving of anything is awesome! Such a great way to not let ingredients go to waste. Plus it's sugar free, LOVE IT!
Brenda
Thanks Connie!
Nutmeg Nanny
That cake looks like the perfect midnight sweet treat 🙂
Brenda
It's a good thing it's single serve right?
Ashley @ Wishes & Dishes
4 minutes total time to make this?? Count me in!
Brenda
Quickest healthy meal not found through a drive through that's for sure.
