This Coconut Almond Mug Cake is a quick, fluffy, flourless treat made with almond butter, shredded coconut, and a few pantry staples. It’s gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and ready in minutes for a wholesome single-serving dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond butter, shredded coconut, egg, honey or maple syrup (if using), baking powder, and salt.
  2. Mix well until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, or until the cake is risen and set.
  4. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with coconut flakes, nut butter, or berries if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overcook—microwave just until the cake is set to avoid dryness.
  • Add chocolate chips for a richer treat or a drop of coconut extract for more flavor.
  • Top with Greek yogurt and berries for a balanced snack.
  • Use a sugar-free sweetener for a lower-carb version.
  • Can be baked in a ramekin at 350°F for 12–15 minutes.
