Breakfast is the meal I care about the most. Why? Because my kids almost always eat a good breakfast… lunch is iffy…. and dinner is a challenge. So, I am always trying to come up with new and creative ways to make breakfast fun, delicious, and most of all healthy!
I’ve seen a million recipes out there for “mug cakes” and finally decided that I would give them a go as a healthy paleo breakfast cake. Took some experimentation (and I still haven’t mastered them without the use of a microwave!), but this recipe was a big hit! It seriously could not be any easier either.
Paleo Breakfast Cake
Need to get out of a breakfast rut? Try cake for breakfast! It's delicious and healthy for you.
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 banana
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
1. Put all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into greased ramekins.
3. Nuke in the microwave for 2 minutes per ramekin, or 8-10 minutes for the whole batch at once*.
4. Invert on a plate and top with your favorite toppings. We love homemade whipped cream, berry sauce, maple syrup, or sliced peaches
5. You can store them for up to three days in a sealed bag in the fridge to heat up for another morning too!
Notes
*Note: we haven't used our microwave in YEARS, but I tried making this recipe in the oven and it took forever! So, just this one time we decided to give the microwave a go. Once I find a quicker method of doing it in the oven, I will be sure to update this post.

Mmmm this sounds terrific!
I sooooo wish I would have found this last night when I was craving a cake. Wonder could you put some cocoa in here to make it a a chocolate cake?
Heck yes!
Just made these with my 7 year old. She was able to do everything except pull them out of the microwave!!! We topped with maple syrup and fresh raspberries, yummy!!! Thanks for a great recipe.
Awesome! It’s so much fun getting the kids involved with meals. I can’t wait until they can make their own food 🙂
Have just found out that I react *badly* to eggs 🙁 Wonder if there is any way to make this without them?
I have not tried it without eggs, you could try substituting chia seeds and see if that works
Can you please tell me what the calorie count is, thanks
I’m not quite sure Karen
I just tried this recipe and steamed them in a water bath on the stove top and they came out wonderfully. Even better than from the microwave.
That is a GREAT idea Lu, I am going to try that too! I really don’t like to use the microwave. Thanks for letting me know that it worked.
Is there anything to substitute for the banana?
We don’t have a microwave..sigh, just for this recipe. If the oven takes a long time, I wonder if it can be done in my instant pot?
That’s an idea! Let me know how it turns out. I never use a microwave, except for this recipe and would prefer not to
