This decadent mug cake is the perfect way to get your fix of chocolate when you’re on keto. Warm, indulgent chocolate brownie goodness is just a few steps and a few minutes away! Gluten free, too!

A spoonful of keto mug brownie

What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

Egg
Butter
Almond flour
Coconut flour
Swerve
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Vanilla extract
Baking powder
Salt

How To Make It

  1. Melt the butter in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk everything to combine.
  3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and whisk well until everything is mostly smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into a medium-sized mug.
  5. Microwave for 65 seconds.

Chef’s Tips

  • Serve with a dollop or two of our keto whipped cream.
  • If you’re on a gluten free diet, make sure to use gluten free baking powder. Bob’s Red Mill and Clabber Girl are two good ones.
  • Try adding a handful of unsweetened chocolate chips for a delicious ooey, gooey chocolatey center.

    Not bad for Keto. Def didn’t feel like it spiked my blood sugar and it wasn’t too heavy.

      That’s awesome! Cheryl’s sister made this every night while she was pregnant to avoid blood sugar spikes while still curbing her sweet tooth. She still makes it even though she’s had the baby!
