Mug muffins and mug cakes are some of the most convenient keto-friendly meals. They can be made both sweet and savoury and take just a few minutes to prepare. For those of you that may not have a microwave, I included some tips for baking the muffins in the oven.
No microwave? If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you make 4-8 servings at once. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional) and cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked in the centre.
Tips & Substitutions
If you need to make this recipe nut-free, use more flaxmeal (same amount) or coconut flour (half the amount). When using ingredients, always go by their weight, especially in case of baked goods.
Measures such as cups may vary depending on a product / brand.
Step-by-step
Place all the dry ingredients in a small bowl and combine well.
Add the egg, cream, water and mix well using a fork.
Slice the smoked salmon and finely chop the chives. Add to the mixture and combine well.
Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds. When done, top with a dollop of cream cheese and enjoy!

I made this with canned salmon and baked it in the oven because I have a rule against microwaving 🐟 in my house. 😖
It was so good! Mine didn't look as pretty as the photo because I used brown flaxseed meal instead of golden but hey, it's the taste that's most important, right? 😉
Absolutely! It's just the colour. I prefer golden flax but it's not always available in regular grocery stores. What I do is I buy a 2-4 pound bad of golden flax and keep it in the freezer. Then I powder as much as I need still frozen (usually 1-2 cups at a time) in a food processor and keep it in the fridge. This way you will preserve the Omega 3s in flax.
Good tip, thanks! I buy my flax pre-ground and store it in the freezer.
I made the mug muffins again last night with canned chicken instead of salmon and they were very tasty as well. Can't wait to try some additional savory varieties.
That's right, these are so versatile! 😊
I tried this recipe this morning. I left the flax meal out used almond flour in it's place. Cooked one, then the second one I stirred a little shredded cheddar cheese into before cooking, it was delicious!! So good I ate both of them!
Thank you for sharing the tips, Stacy!
Thanks a million for all your recipes. They're delicious! Just wondering though if the flax meal can be left out? Would psyllium husks or something be a good substitute?
Thank you Jen! I'd substitute it with more almond flour (same amount) or 1-2 tbsp of coconut flour 😊
Do these hold up well enough to be fried into patties? Can I substitute canned pink salmon? Thanks!!
Hi Aleta, I'm not sure but I wouldn't fry these - baking in the oven would be better. Yes, you can use canned salmon too 😊
Is there anything that can be used in place of almond flour? We have a nut allergy in the house. Thanks!
Yes, you can use just flax or sesame seed meal (same amount as almond flour) or try coconut flour (half the amount or add more water / cream). I'd personally go for sesame seed meal & flax combination 😉
Recipe calls for "2 dollops full-fat cream cheese". Is this correct or should it be "2 dollops full-fat sour cream"?
Actually it can be both - I'll add it now 😊
