This Coffee Toffee Pecan Mug Muffin is made in a minute! It's made without sugar, low carb, grain free and gluten free!
When it comes to breakfast, I don't know about you but I like a hearty start to my day.
Muffins, especially made like this one, are the key to keeping me satisfied and happy until lunch.
Making it look like dessert doesn't hurt either LOL!
Topped with a dairy free toffee drizzle and some chopped pecans this is a masterpiece for success on anyone's healthy eating journey!
It's whipped up in minutes and made in the microwave or it can be baked in the oven, either way it's a quick breakfast for any busy person rushing out the door each morning.
Hey, even if you don't rush out the door each morning, it's a treat for us mom's who feed the kids first and forget ourselves last. Am I right? Am I talking to you? I know it's true because I've been there and done that and making quick breakfast like this for myself has been the only way to keep grumpy momma a bay.
You could eat this right out of the dish you make it in and be done, no need to get all fancy with drizzle and what not. BUT if you have the time, some drizzle is worth making. You'l feel like you went to a fancy coffee shop for breakfast!
Pecans in the mixture turn this ordinary muffin into so much more. Of course you could leave them out if you're not into pecans.
But whatever you do, don't forgo the additional flavors that make this TOFFEE all the way!
Check out my short, less than 30 second video, of how easy this is!

Just made this! LOVE! I am always looking for recipes that don't use almond flour cuz it's so expensive and you use SO much compared to how much coconut flour you use and all the mug muffin recipes seem to have almond flour...I was delighted to find your recipe, and have had it pinned for a long time, but have never had a chance to try it...I am only disappointed that I didn't try it sooner lol ;oP! I didn't want to open a can of coconut milk right now, so just subbed a spoon of swerve conf. Added a little cream and some powdered espresso powder to kick up the coffee element...YUM! Thank you for creating a mug muffin with just coconut flour! it did NOT disappoint!!! 🙂

Thank you for the recipe, looks yummy. I have a question, I've noticed that I get tommy issues with coconut flour which doesn't happen when I use almond flour, is this common? Any input would be appreciated. Not sure if I should omit coconut flour from my diet to avoid the uncomfortable effects or if there is anything I can do to lessen the effects.
Brenda
I have never noticed issues using coconut flour so I can't say for sure if that is the cause or might it be the sugar free sweetener you are using?
Gun
Coconut flour is pure fiber so it is common to have a bit of an issue to start with. It usually eases off with time. Just start out with small amounts.

You are SO talking to me! For someone who regularly jokes about spending 80% of her day in the kitchen, I sure do forget to eat an awful lot. This is perfect! (With drizzle, of course!)
