Ingredients

Scale

Base Mug Cake:

  • 3 tablespoons almond flour (or coconut flour for variation)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Sugar-free whipped cream
  • Keto-friendly chocolate chips
  • Crushed nuts

Instructions

  • Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly to remove lumps.
    • Add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Cook the Mug Cake:
    • Microwave the mug on high for 60–90 seconds. The time may vary depending on your microwave’s power. The cake should rise and set but remain slightly soft in the center.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the mug cake to cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying. Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, if desired.

Notes

  • If you prefer a softer texture, reduce cooking time slightly.
  • Replace almond flour with coconut flour for a nut-free version but reduce to 2 tablespoons and add an extra teaspoon of liquid.
  • For variety, mix in keto-friendly flavorings like a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract.
