Total Time: 3 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Select a microwave-safe ceramic mug with at least 12 ounces capacity to prevent overflow during cooking.
- In the mug, thoroughly whisk the egg until smooth and slightly frothy using a small fork or mini whisk.
- Add melted butter to the whisked egg and mix completely to create a uniform liquid base.
- Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract, stirring to combine all wet ingredients.
- Sift the coconut flour and baking powder directly into the wet ingredients to prevent clumping.
- Sprinkle erythritol over the mixture and whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms with no visible dry spots.
- Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the mug, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Microwave the mug cake on high power for 60-75 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Remove from microwave and let stand for 30 seconds to allow cake to set and cool slightly.
- Optional: Garnish with a light dusting of powdered erythritol or a few berries if desired.
- Serve warm directly from the mug and enjoy your quick keto-friendly dessert.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest batter and most consistent texture.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Take time to whisk ingredients completely to avoid clumps of coconut flour, which can create an uneven texture.
- Microwave Precision: Ovens vary, so start with 60 seconds and check. Overcooking can result in a dry, tough cake.
- Mug Selection is Key: Use a microwave-safe mug with high sides to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
- Customization Options: Experiment with add-ins like sugar-free chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the mug cake rest for 30 seconds after cooking to allow it to set and achieve the perfect consistency.
- Storage Tip: While best enjoyed immediately, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat briefly in the microwave.
