Late night snack have to be easy to make. So in creating this keto chocolate mug cake I needed something not only easy but delicious too.

Recently, I reviewed the keto chocolate cakes of the internet. Before making my own I needed to get a feel for the competition.

So after this video I can say that I am topping these three. Granted that is a personal opinion of course.

The keto chocolate mug cake can be made in under 90 seconds. Producing a chocolate cake-like texture right out of the microwave. Allow it to cool of course. A perfect late night snack that’s just a single serving so you won’t overdo it.

For the caramel I used Choczero caramel sauce. I currently am partnered with them to give you 10% off on all your purchases using the discount code “sugarlesscrystals” here.

How to make a keto mug cake?

Below I will break down how to make my version. But for now keto mug cakes are so fast and simple. Truly a one dish snack.

Place all your ingredients such as a flour or protein powder, add your sweetener and make a choice whether you want it to rise or not. Now, given the egg a small rise will happen but baking soda or powder will produce even more.

How to make my keto chocolate mug cake:

Personally I like to separate my dry from wet even for my keto mug cakes. Due to the recipe having melted butter I like to do that first to give it a chance to cool.

You do not want to put an egg in scorching hot butter. Isn’t that how we prepare eggs on the stove? The egg will begin to cook and scramble while mixing. And that is no good.

So, melt butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave then allow them to cool.

While butter is cooling grab all your dry ingredients. Coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, granulated sweetener and salt.

If you didn’t allow your butter and chocolate to get scorching hot they should be cool . Add in heavy cream, a little stevia and your egg. Now mix all that then toss in your dry ingredients.

Microwave for about 1-1 1/2 minutes. You do want it to be cooked to avoid batter left in the bottom. Allow it to cool so that the chocolate cake can set.

Variations

Chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips, you can even not melt the chocolate with your butter to have the chunks flowing through your cake.
Nut allergy? Don’t use the walnuts at all. They do bring a flavor and texture but it’s not worth damaging your health.
