This quick and easy raspberry mug cake is the ultimate single serve dessert ready in 3 minutes! Made with coconut flour and loaded with raspberries, it’s an almost instant gluten-free, grain-free and no added sugar treat!

Um helllllllo to the most heavenly raspberry mug cake recipe ever.

I flipping love making mug cakes. For starters, they are absolutely delicious and so easy to make. You just mix everything together in a mug/ ramekin, pop it into the microwave and you have yourself a fluffy cake in less then 5 minutes. I also love that they are filling and nutritious, so it is a great breakfast idea too.

It was inspired by my oh so popular Healthy Pumpkin Mug Cake except I made a few tweaks and additions to this new one and I am obsessed.

The recipe itself is gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free and is only sweetened with applesauce and raspberries. No other sugar except for a few drops of liquid stevia which is totally optional!

I hope you guys love this recipe as much as I do. I cannot wait to hear what you think!

Topping Ideas

There are SO many different ways you can enjoy this raspberry mug cake!

I’ve topped this one with greek yoghurt and warm defrosted raspberries but feel free to switch up the toppings depending on how you are eating it.

Below are some ideas:

• a dollop of greek/ coconut yoghurt with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, seeds for cocoa nibs
• a drizzle of peanut or almond butter
• a dollop of of greek/ coconut yoghurt with extra warm berries
• extra berries or banana slices

These toppings help to add an extra source of healthy fat and protein to this recipe, making it a more filling and satisfying breakfast or snack ????. There are no added sugars in the cake part from the optional few drops of liquid stevia. However you can add a drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey for a little extra sweetness.
