Low Carb Cinnamon Flax Seed Muffin in a Mug Recipe

This is fantastic. It feels like you’re eating a breaded food. So yummy! I used almond flour rather than the flax because that’s what I had on hand, and I only put 1 tbs coconut oil. I was worried about it tasting like coconut oil since that can overpower other food tastes. I just added extra water till it seemed like muffin batter consistency and it turned out so good. I feel so satisfied right now since I havent had any kind of muffin or cake in a month. This is going in the favorites list.

This was an easy recipe to make. I didn’t find coconut flour in the market so I substituted with almond flour and it was delicious!

This was delicious! I doubled the recipe but only used one egg and two tbsp of mayo for the other egg. I was worried that it might taste eggy if I had used two eggs. I didn’t use all of the coconut oil, only four tbsp for the doubled recipe. I made a keto friendly cinnamon roll icing for it. It tasted just like a cinnamon bun/roll with icing on it! I love cinnamon anything, pretty much! I also topped it with a little bit of Cool Whip, when I was ready to eat it. I used a small mason jar instead of a mug and cooked it in the microwave. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for this recipe. I turned mine into a hamburger bun using a soup glass cup. I omitted the erythritol and salt used 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp o flaxseed. Added thyme and sunflower seeds. Delish!

Yummy! My first mug cake!

Can this be made with liquid stevia instead of granular? or is the granular a must? Love your blog!

I make this all the time now. It is delicious and so easy to whip up. It meets my cinnamon cravings!

Thank you for the recipe, it was different from the Cinnamon Mug Muffin that I have made in the past. For my personal taste, it has too much cinnamon, but I did like the “sugar” on top and “swirled” in – I think that for fear of mixing too much, I didn’t do that very good so maybe it was just that there was too much cinnamon at the top of the muffin, because the bottom 2 slices seemed to taste better to me.
It is a good nut free alternative. Thanks for sharing! And thank you for doing such a good job on all your recipes, I have tried many and have many more to try so I really appreciate you taking the time to share!
May you be blessed for your efforts!

I like to top mine with “cream cheese glaze” :
I have a table spoon or two of cream cheese warmed up in the microwave oven, stir some sweetener of choice (for me it’s Erytrithol and Stevia 1:1) and pour it over…

I made this today. I tweaked a couple of things. I did not use the flaxseed (didn’t have them in my pantry), instead used the same amount of coconut flour. I also added 1TBS of coconut powder (I really really love anything coconut). I also used half a large egg add I really dislike the eggy taste. My mix became a little tight, so I added some coconut milk. They turned out awesome. Thank you so much for the recipe!!

This was the best! Thank you!

That was delicious. My 3 year old asked for seconds. I made this recipe as a keto dessert however ill use it again for the kids as a breakfast option. Thanks for sharing!

Made it!
Enjoyed it. I used stevia because I can’t find my swerve bag…used less, but will use the full amount next time. Found it hard to get a good swirl with a spoon, might use handle next time.
Thank you!

My daughter is allergic to almost everything. All nuts, corn, gluten, all seeds, carrots, grapes, soy, and intolerant to dairy. She can handle most Keto recipes and we love your blog. Any suggestion what I can substitute the flax seed with? Also, for those recipes that include almond flour, what is a good substitute for that??? P.S. i used a lot of your recipes for thanksgivong dinner. It was a hit with my Keto family. I also made regular mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc, etc for the rest of the family.

Just made this, and I’m pleasantly surprised. The idea of microwaving muffins has always been weird to me, but since starting keto, cooking is such a hassle, I wanted an easier breakfast. Was a bit dry, and since I’m new to keto, I’m still not used to the very stiffed sweetness. But definitely the best use of erythritol I’ve had since I got the bag of it.
Might top with sweetened heavy whipping cream to alleviate some of the dryness and suit my sweet tooth next time. But definitely enjoyed it. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi… Mine came out very dry and crumbly. I did keep adding water till it was easy to stir. Otherwise followed directions exactly. Really need a good keto sweet recipe that’s quick and easy. It’s rough following keto for me being vegetarian. Need something sweet I can turn to sometimes.

I made this twice and found it to be very dry and dense. I assumed it was a moisture problem since coconut flour needs more liquid and added two tablespoons of heavy whipping cream to the mix when I made it a third time. The result: soft, flavorful, and completely edible.

Just made this and I loved it. Thank you.

This was great! Thanks for a great recipe. I also substituted almond flour for the flax seed meal. Worked great. Absolutely delicious!

Thanks so much for the recipe! Just thought I’d make a suggestion for others who’ve been strictly keto: cut the sweetener, at least in half. I can have a major sweet tooth but since switching to a keto diet, sugar is out. I’m only starting to incorporate other sweeteners and I followed this recipe exactly, but was quite overwhelmed by how sweet it is. Given that adjustment, I’ll absolutely be making this again!

This was amazing! It hit the spot when I needed something sweet! Thank you!!

Love this! I put a little coconut butter on top and it was like a glaze. Was good with or without it.
