A quick, easy and healthy recipe for a keto chocolate raspberry mug cake made without eggs! Packed with protein and gooey on in the inside, this healthy mug cake takes 1 minute but comes with an oven option too! Vegan, Paleo and completely sugar free.
Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake Recipe
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of small batch desserts, especially when it comes to mug cakes. Heck, my first cookbook was all about single serve desserts!
What I love about mug cakes is that they are not only quick and easy to prepare and enjoy, but they are perfectly portioned for one. If you are anything like me, your definition of a slice of cake would likely be very different to mine…Oops.
Moreover, what I love about my own mug cake recipes is that they are all also healthy and completely sugar free, making them a snack you can enjoy anytime. They also are vegan and gluten-free, as they are all made without eggs or grains!
Some of my favorites include my cinnamon roll mug cake, vanilla mug cake and my current favorite, the chocolate cake in a mug.
With Valentine’s day right around the corner, I’m all about small batch desserts with some Valentine twist to them…Enter raspberries!
Keto Chocolate Cake in a Mug with Raspberries
Okay, so raspberries have nothing to do with Valentine’s day, and I definitely don’t recommend or suggest you only eat them on this day!
I am obsessed with adding raspberries to the chocolate mug cake recipe base, as it slays in the texture department.
Texture wise, the chocolate raspberry mug cake is moist, gooey and almost lava-cake like in the center. It’s lightly tender on the outside, and as it is made without eggs, it doesn’t matter if it seems undercooked!
Taste-wise, it’s a cross between a gooey fudgy brownie center and a chocolate pudding- It is THAT good!
Fresh Raspberries or Frozen Raspberries
Fresh raspberries are obviously very seasonal, and buying them out of season will indeed cost you an arm, leg and a mythical unicorn.
If you have fresh raspberries on hand, they would be the ideal choice. However, frozen raspberries work just as well, and are super affordable!
To use frozen raspberries, just be sure to thaw them out completely. Raspberries are naturally a very fragile fruit. Using them in a frozen state in this mug cake won’t allow it to bake properly and you’ll be left with a very under-cooked and almost pudding-like mug cake.
To thaw raspberries, simply remove the desired amount and refrigerate it. In the morning or before you make the chocolate raspberry mug cake, pat the raspberries dry with a paper towel, to ensure all the ice particles have been removed.
Keto Chocolate Mug Cake With Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is necessary to help bind the ingredients together (remember, it is made without any eggs!), especially when paired with the cocoa powder.
Do not omit or sub the coconut flour for something else- this will not work. If you want a chocolate raspberry mug cake without coconut flour, you can make this recipe here.
Microwave Or Oven
Not everyone owns a microwave or feels comfortable using one.
I used a microwave for this recipe, and it took less than 1 minute. If you prefer a slightly more tender cake (it will be moist and gooey regardless), you can cook it a little longer. Again, be wary that microwave times depend on your make and model.
I’ve tested it out in the oven, and it is super simple to do! Simply pour the cake batter in an oven-safe ramekin (I used a 6-inch one) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until your desired texture is achieved.
Whether you celebrate Valentine’s day or not, this healthy chocolate mug cake with raspberries will satisfy your chocolate cravings in minutes! Whether you follow a ketogenic, low carb or vegan diet, this tastes delicious regardless!

Talk about yumminess in a mug! I wouldn’t ever resist a single-serving dessert that’s hearty and rich. Raspberries and chocolate are the best combination for Valentine’s Day as well!
Not a fan of raspberries. Can canberries be substituted?
Sure!
You have pictures of chocolate chips, but it’s not in the directions anywhere. Are we supposed to add them or?
Hi! They are optional, but go for it- I use 1 – 2 tablespoons 🙂
Looks so decadent and delicious! I love chocolate and raspberry together!
I microwaved it for two minutes. Used date sugar for the sweetener, PB for the nut butter, and banana instead of pumpkin. For the lazy folks out there like me, I didn’t move it to a different dish and just used what I mixed it all up in. Very yummy! I’ll be making it again. I prefer the deep cocoa flavors to the chocolate chips, so this was beautiful. Thank you!
Tried this first with applesauce and second with banana. Applesauce required a bit more time (I think just because it adds more liquid). I am obsessed!! So satisfying, EASY (I get a mug and a few pieces of silverware dirty), and quick! Plus I don’t feel terrible after eating it. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
You are so welcome, thank you for the feedback!
Hi, can the pumpkin puree/banana/applesauce be subbed with anything else to make it more low-carb? I really want to try this!
Not that I’ve tried!
