Love chocolate cake but don’t have the time to make a big one? This Keto Chocolate Mug Cake is perfect if you want a single serve keto treat that’s ready in 5 minutes flat.

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Using a microwave usually gives you the best results when making mug cakes, as it gives you more rise, which results in a fluffy texture which doesn’t translate to an oven baked mug cake using similar ingredients.

I’m assuming if you’re looking for a mug cake, you know what it is, but a typical mug cake is as simple as it sounds… a cake in a mug! (see more)

How Many Carbs In A Keto Chocolate Mug Cake?

This recipe contains 8.5g net carbs per serving, or 18g total carbs.

Generally, I advise most people to be tracking 40g total carbs at least to start with, so this should definitely fit within your macros.

However, if you are tracking 20g net carbs, you could cut the carbs down by 1.4g so each serve is 7.2g you can omit the chocolate chips… but they are nice and add that special bit of chocolate goo!

Let’s make a Keto Mug Brownie!

You’ll Need:

  • Almond Flour (you could use coconut flour, but I would prefer you use sesame seed flour for a nut-free option)
  • Erythritol (or liquid stevia) – I’d use 1/4 tsp of liquid stevia if replacing for erythritol (also giving it less total carbs)
  • Raw cacao powder (for that rich chocolate taste)
  • baking powder AND baking soda
  • Sugar free chocolate chips (optional but definitely worth it)
  • Butter
  • Egg
  • Yogurt (or ice cream)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Almond Milk
  • Pinch of salt.

If you wanted to simplify this recipe, simply use eggs, almond flour and butter, and experiment as you like!

Best served with keto ice cream, whipped cream, yoghurt or coconut yogurt.

Tip!

For dairy-free, replace the yoghurt and butter with coconut yoghurt and coconut oil.

For egg-free, replace the egg with 1 tbsp of flax meal soaked for 5 minutes in 2.5 tbsp of water.

Start by microwaving the keto chocolate Mug Cakes for 90 seconds on high, up to 110 seconds depending on how soft you like them.

If you don’t have a microwave you can bake in a preheated oven (350F / 180C / 160 fan) for about 15 minutes or until you can insert and remove a skewer without crumbs sticking. Make sure your mug / ramekin is oven safe and there is plenty of space for the batter to rise.

    Hi Aaron. I’m looking forward to try your version! My only frustration is really with the mug size. Mugs range from the dainty 3.5 oz. (not nearly enough coffee!) to 16 oz Soup mugs and bigger! are we talking about an 6-8 oz Mug? how wide? how deep? Some guidance would really help.

      Hi Russ, a 6-8oz mug would be more suitable.
