This Healthy Blueberry Strawberry Shortcake Mug Cake is a delicious, quick, easy-to-make and guilt-free dessert for one! Also vegan and gluten-free!
If you could think of a cake that screams SUMMER, what would you think of? Obviously there’s ice cream cake, but I believe strawberry shortcake is the epitome of an easy summer dessert cake.
A simple vanilla cake base filled with fresh whipped cream and piled with juicy strawberries; How could this get any better?
Let me tell ya friends, if strawberry shortcake was even simpler to make, made single serving and included bloobs in the mix, you’d swoon even more at this dessert. We all know how much I like to share, so hence the reason that I made this classic dessert single serving.😉
Also, I feel like blueberries are just as good (if not better) than strawberries, so they deserve to have time to shine here too.
Everybody has those days when they just need dessert, and they need it NOW and all to themselves. This blueberry strawberry shortcake is for those days, but also for any day. We all know how impatient people are, so we make recipes that fit the needs of these people. 
If you have a good 3 minutes on hand, you should go and make this. All you gotta do is mix the ingredients, microwave for 1-2 minutes, slice in half, and top with the coconut cream and berries. No need to make a mess in the kitchen on a hot summer day, thank God!🙌

I am on a fairly strict regimen, but sometimes I crave dessert. This sound delicious= no wheat so I can give it a try. I haven’t really experimented with oat flower.
This looks great! Pinned to try later. I love berries plain or with yummy chocolate chia pudding. Found your post at the Blogger’s Pit Stop!

This is sooo up my alley! We have a joke in our house about how often we use ramekins so anything that gets cooked in a ramekin is something I must try. And in the microwave, how easy – and it’s healthy to boot. This will probably be dessert on Father’s day. Thanks!
HI Bethany & Rachel,
This looks and sounds so delicious and refreshing. It full of color and sounds so healthy. I love to eat chia pudding with coconut milk and freeze it with some coconut flakes in it for the summer treat. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays blog hop. Pinned & tweeted!

Blueberries! That is what strawberry shortcake has been missing all this time to make it really, truly, over the top, eat-me-now enticing! And the speediness certainly draws me too 🙂 A beach towel in the sand + me + this cake + sunset–summer perfection <3

I think it’s magical that you managed to make a mug cake look this amazing. <3 I need to try this!!
I’m not vegan or gluten free but I want to make this anyway…it looks delicious!
This sounds delicious and simple! Is there a good alternative to greek yogurt? My wife is not a fan of the texture of yogurt, but i don’t want to use regular whip cream either.

Hi,
I came across your ‘mug cake’ recipes on a search for organic, gluten free mug cakes.
This looks so good.
Also, I wanted to tell you that you can buy these graham crackers at a MartinsFoods store,
probably also Giants, (incase some of your visitors &/or subscribers might not have computers, or buy from amazon.
