Flaxseed muffin in a mug – Single serve muffin ready in 5 minutes !

It is a very healthy recipe made of few simple low carb ingredients. I baked my muffin in my microwave for a even faster result BUT you can bake yours in a regular oven if you like. It simply takes a bit longer that is why I recommend to cook yours in a mug in the microwave if you crave something sweet now!

So, this is what you need to make a delicious bakery style flaxseed muffin in a mug:
- Flaxseed meal – flaxseed is high in fiber and omega 3, plus it is very low carb so a great flour base to create healthy low carb muffins
- Coconut oil – you can use any vegetable oil in this recipe but coconut oil is an healthy oil full of anti fungal and antibacterial properties without saying that the flavor it adds is bomb!
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
- Egg – don’t replace the egg in this recipe it won’t work ! Trust me I tried and there is no great egg free option for this recipe.
- Baking powder – or 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Sugar free crystal sweetener – my favorite sweetener is this one, it is a natural sugar free sweetener, a combo of erythritol and stevia
- Raspberries – optional, you can simply make the recipe without fruits or use blueberries, lemon zest or orange zest to add healthy low carb flavors
- Sugar free chocolate chips – optional you can replace this by any kind of chopped nuts like walnuts, almonds or pecan.

Oven or microwave ?
I love to bake my flaxseed muffin into a mug in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. However, you can also use your oven, simply make sure you are using a oven proof ramekin or muffin tray. Bake your recipe at 180 C (350F) for about 12-15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the muffin come out clean. You can also quadruple the recipe to make a larger batter and fill a 12 holes mini muffin tray to make small size flaxseed muffins for your week.

Nutrition panel is for one flaxseed muffin in a mug without the optional ingredients.
Perfect breakfast option or really anytime! I made one with frozen cherries and chocolate chips. I’m seriously amazed at how easy, nutritious and delicious this recipe is. I didn’t add a sweetener but I did spread butter on the baked muffin. Thanks for creating and sharing this awesome recipe. 5 stars for sure! Cardamom and cinnamon would have been good with the cherries. Or even a savory option with finely choppped vegetables.
WOW! I am surprised that you already made it 🙂 This is so amazing to have you on the blog, testing my recipes and adding such great ideas ! I didn’t try the savory version but that is a delicious idea ! Thanks again for your lovely comment and thanks to YOU for being there, testing my creation and sharing your feedback! Enjoy the blog recipes. XOXO Carine.
Pouvons-nous remplacer le Stevia par du nectar d’agave?
oui bien sur, ce ne sera plus bas en glucide ou sans sucre ou ketogenic mais ce sera tres bon et ca reste une solution non raffinee, plus saine que le sucre blanc. Bon choix! Eassyer peut etre 2 tablespoons pour un gout aussi intense. Merci de me lire et donnez en moi des nouvelles. A bientot, Carine.
