Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a popular oil in keto and low-carb diets. It is also a great substitute for butter or vegetable oil in many recipes. Coconut oil is high in healthy fats known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs can be easily converted into ketones. They can be used by the body for energy. Coconut oil may also have antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Desiccated Coconut: Desiccated coconut is made from the meat of the coconut. It has been dried and shredded. It adds a delicious coconut flavor and texture to baked goods. It is commonly used in many gluten free and low carb recipes. It is high in fiber and healthy fats. It contains essential minerals such as iron and manganese. Its fiber content can help support digestive health and promote feelings of fullness.
Raspberries: Raspberries are a low-carb fruit. They are high in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and manganese. They can help support immune function, and promote healthy skin. They may have anti-inflammatory properties. They are a great addition to many keto and low-carb desserts. They add a sweet, tangy flavor to this mug cake recipe.

And you’ll have a delicious and healthy dessert or snack that’s perfect for any time of the day. Get ready to indulge in a sweet treat without breaking your keto or low-carb diet!
Start by placing the coconut oil in a microwave-proof mug.
Microwave the coconut oil on high for 30 seconds, or until melted.
Crack an egg into the mug, add the vanilla extract, and beat the mixture until it’s almost white. This should take around 1-2 minutes.
Next, add the dry ingredients – coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, and desiccated coconut – and stir until everything is fully combined. Remember to leave a little bit of the desiccated coconut for decoration later.
At this point, you can choose to leave the mixture aside for a minute or two. This will allow it to thicken slightly and help to remove any trapped air bubbles. Give the mixture another quick stir before moving on to the next step.
Arrange the raspberries on top of the mixture, pressing them slightly into the batter.
Sprinkle a little bit of desiccated coconut on top of the raspberries for decoration.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute, or until the cake is fully cooked.
Once the cake is cooked, let it stand for a minute or two before enjoying it. You can also choose to take it out of the mug and decorate it with keto-friendly whipping cream or ice cream.
Please Note!
Make sure to keep an eye on your mug cake while it’s cooking in the microwave. It can quickly become overcooked and dry. Also, be careful when removing the mug from the microwave as it will be hot.
