Despite being a low-carb chocolate mug cake, this dessert tastes delicious and wholesome. The texture comes all fluffy and tempting that even the connoisseur chocolate lover will forget it is any different from the regular, fat-full cakes. Above all, when it is homemade, you know it is fresher and available at any time.
The next best thing about this easy keto dessert is that making it doesn’t take very much time. Just a couple of minutes is all you need to make this single-serving delight. Top with fresh keto whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
I made this last night to curb a late night sweet craving and it totally hit the spot. It was rich and not overly sweet which I love for a keto treat. Used cacao powder for that deep chocolate flavor. My husband was surprised it was low carb.
I don’t have coconut flour. Can I replace it with something else?
Try adding another tablespoon or two of almond flour to replace the coconut flour.
I really enjoyed the texture and flavor. I put a teaspoon of peanut butter in it and it was yummy!
Palm of hearts has fabulous keto friendly pasta so I have heard.. I bought some at whole foods havent tried it yet.
I wanted something sweet and remembered your mug cake recipe. It was delicious and the serving size was perfect with no leftovers. I added a little sugar free whipped cream for good measure Great recipe and thank you so much for helping to make keto sustainable!!!
I have two children with nut allergies. I cannot have any type of almond flour or nut flours in my house. Can you give me the alternative to using coconut flour instead? Is it for every 1 tsp of almond flour I use two tsp of coconut flour? Thanks so much! Love your channel! It’s my saving grace and my fave ?
I usually will 1/3 the measurement if I’m swapping coconut flour for almond flour. Try 2-3 teaspoons of coconut flour. I know it doesn’t seem like a lot but coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid so if you add too much the cake will be really dense and dry.
