Substitute for Cacao Bliss

If Cacao Bliss is not your choice, use any pure 100% unsweetened cocoa powder. Make sure you grab the one that is unsweetened. There are some cocoa powders that have added sugar in them. Since Cacao Bliss is sweetened, you still shouldn’t need to add additional sweetener to this recipe since this low carb mug brownie already has monkfruit sweetener in it.

Try substituting the almond flour with sunflower seed flour. It measures cup for cup with almond flour so you shouldn’t have to do any calculations to get the right proportion.

Eggless Keto Brownies

This brownie recipe doesn’t use any egg, so if you have an egg allergy or are a true vegetarian, then you will be delighted to know this sugar-free brownie was made for you! You can also substitute the heavy cream for nut milk and the butter for a vegan friendly butter if you wish to make a completely vegan friendly keto brownie.

The Mug Brownie is a Portion Controlled Low Carb Dessert

Perhaps, the biggest advantage of making easy keto brownie for the carb-conscious is how it is portion controlled. You can control your keto sweets intake by making just one brownie at a time since this is a single serve recipe. It is also less effort taking than making a whole batch, keeping leftovers, and indulging in excess that you know will make you feel guilty later.

What to Serve With Brownies?

The brownie is best served with whipped cream or low carb ice cream. Or you can drizzle some melted sugar-free chocolate on top if you are a chocolate lover!

Keto Mug Brownie: FAQS

Can I use a different sweetener instead of monkfruit sweetener?

Absolutely! You can substitute monkfruit sweetener with erythritol, stevia, or any other keto-friendly sweetener you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the quantity to match the sweetness level.

What if I don’t have almond flour? Can I use something else?

If almond flour isn't available, you can use coconut flour, but you'll need to reduce the amount to about 2 tablespoons since coconut flour is more absorbent. Alternatively, finely ground sunflower seeds can work as a nut-free option!

How can I store leftovers of the keto mug brownie?

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), let the brownie cool completely, then cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can reheat it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before enjoying!

Is this recipe suitable for a dairy-free diet?

Yes! To make this keto mug brownie dairy-free, you can replace the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute, and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to this brownie?

Definitely! Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, or even a few extra sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor!
