Sugar-Free Cranberry Muffin-in-a-Mug! (S)

I bought a bag of cranberries after seeing so many yummy cranberry recipes floating around this month!  I decided to try my hand at a muffin-in-a-mug type recipe with the cranberries!  It turned out so good the first time!!  I was thrilled! You could easily substitute blueberries (1/4 or so) in this recipe if you don't have cranberries.  Just be careful that you don't put too many blueberries in it and unless you want a Crossover treat!  It would be good with raspberries or strawberries as well.  The muffin recipe itself is my favorite!!!!  I like it plain as a sugar free yellow cake!

Sugar-Free Cranberry Muffin-in-a Mug  (S)

1 egg

1 TBS. of water

1&1/2 TBS. of coconut flour

1&1/2 TBS. of golden flax flour

1 TBS of coconut oil(MCT oil or butter would work too)

1 tsp. of vanilla

tiny pinch of salt

1/2 tsp of aluminum free baking powder

10 cranberries (yes, I counted!)

1 TBS. of Truvia or 2 tsp of xylitol

Mix up well in a microwave safe bowl or mug!!!  I microwaved this for 60 seconds then another 30 or so seconds.  It really depends on how hot your microwave is.  I check it at one minute to see how the top looks.  If it's still shiny and wet I bake it 30 seconds more at a time until I know it's done.

My go-to Frosting:

1 TBS of Cream cheese(soft)

1 TBS of butter(soft)

sweetener of choice(I use Truvia)

1/2 tsp of vanilla

The frosting is SOOO good!  It's a bit lumpy in my picture this time but, it's normally smooth.  The lumps don't effect the taste so, I didn't mind.

Isn't this pretty?!  It's so delicious too!  Tart and sweet at the same time.  I love that combo!

      Thanks, Sara! My mom just gave me some of her old Christmas plates! 🙂 I love them.

    Oh, cranberry is my weakness in muffins. 🙂 Hey, one thing I find really quick is to use the plain whipped cream cheese like they sell for bagels. It’s easier to get it smooth since it’s already whipped!

    Thanks for linking up at Trim Healthy Tuesday!

    I LOVED it, Jennifer!
    I split the extract between vanilla & almond, though. 🙂
    I will be trying blueberry next with this recipe for my older son who doesn’t appreciate cranberries.
    Great texture!
    I used butter. I will also try MCT.

    • Jennifer Griffin

      Yahh!!! 🙂 I do too! It’s my favorite basic mix and then I add berries! 🙂

    Great! I figured out how to follow your THM board. I am not very good at pinterest. 😉

    Curious about sweeteners–I understood that Truvia is sweeter than xylitol (Truvia 3x sweeter than sugar, xylitol about the same as sugar) So wondering about the amounts you’ve listed here where there’s more Truvia as option to less xylitol. Thoughts? Thanks!

    • Jennifer Griffin

      I don’t use Xylitol because I have a very nosy dog! I don’t want her to get into my food and accidentally put an end to her life. I am not sure what it tastes like in comparison. I do know xylitol can be kinda evenly exchanged with amounts of real sugar in recipes. If I find out a better answer..since this isn’t one, I’ll let you know.

    I don’t have any coconut flour, can I use almond flour instead?

    • Jennifer Griffin

      Yes, you can try it! 🙂 I have used it that way before. I just love the coconut flour now. Give it a shot!

  10. Laura F.

    I can’t find you on Pinterest. Could you give me your pinterest name so I can follow your THM board? Thanks!

  12. Darlene D.

    Yum, have you thought about adding a bit of orange extract? I’m going to have to give this one a try!

    • Jennifer Griffin

      I know a few ladies have and have LOVED IT!! I will have to give it a try after I buy some!

  13. Sheila

    Thank you for this recipe. I made mine into a really thick pancake as I don’t have a microwave. I just ate it without the frosting and it was amazing!!

  14. Pam

    I have Truvia n single serve packets. How much would you put in frosting?

    • Jennifer Griffin

      Hmm…I’d say to start with one packet and taste it. It may take one more though.

    This is the page that your sugar-free pumpkin pound cake link goes to on your recipe index. Just wanted to let you know the link wasn’t working right.

  16. Ashley

    Do you have a chocolate muffin in a mug using the coconut flour? I like it way better than almond flour.

    And do you know of a cake recipe using these same flours?

    I really enjoy making many of your recipes. 🙂
