Paleo Lemon Poppyseed Mug Cake

This Paleo Lemon Poppyseed Mug Muffin is free of refined-sugar, gluten, dairy, and grains. I also love that it has added protein and fiber from the egg and coconut flour— making it a wholesome treat, snack, or even breakfast!

This Paleo Lemon Poppyseed Mug Cake is so simple to make and takes hardly any time to throw together.

All you have to do is mix together all of your ingredients, pour the batter into a mug or ramkein, and then microwave!

I decided to use maple syrup as my unrefined/paleo sweetener but feel free to use what you have on hand. Coconut sugar, honey, stevia, and cane sugar are all great options!

Here is what your batter should look like.

Post-microwave… Tah-dah!

I went with a more of a “classic” icing and used organic powdered sugar and lemon juice.

If you are strict paleo, you have a couple of options here.

You could either swap out the powdered sugar for powdered monkfruit or you could melt coconut butter with a squeeze of lemon and use that as your icing instead! If you decide to go with the coconut butter option and find it’s not sweet enough for you, you could also add a dash of maple syrup to it 😊 let me know if you guys have any questions or need help!
