Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (or your keto-friendly sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Add the butter and peanut butter to a microwave-safe mug and microwave 15–20 seconds, just until softened. Stir until smooth.
- Whisk in the egg until fully combined, then stir in almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and a pinch of salt if using.
- Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips if using and smooth the top of the batter.
- Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, checking at 60 seconds. The cake is done when the top is set but still soft.
- Let the mug cake rest for 1–2 minutes before eating; it will continue to firm as it cools.
