Servings: 1 servings
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1/3 cup almonds or pecans (or 6 tbsp almond flour for a nut-free version)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
- a pinch stevia (optional)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp milk of choice (or 2 if using liquid sweetener)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Directions: Keto Mug Cake
- In your microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour (or ground nuts), cocoa powder, erythritol, pinch of stevia (if using), salt, and baking powder. Mix well with a fork or whisk to ensure there are no lumps.
- Next, add the milk of your choice and the vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter. If you’re using liquid sweetener, remember to adjust the milk quantity to 2 tablespoons.
- If you’re feeling indulgent, fold in a few chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate chips for an added treat.
- Microwave the mug for about 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave's power. Start with 60 seconds, and if it’s not set, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until it’s fully cooked. The cake should rise and look firm on top.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before digging in. This helps set the texture and prevents burns.
