Vanilla Chocolate Chip Keto Mug Cake (Super Easy Keto Dessert)

INGREDIENTS

finely ground coconut flour
finely ground almond flour: the mixture of almond flour and coconut flour is the secret for keeping this recipe affordable, fluffy & moist!
granulated erythritol:
in my opinion, the BEST keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of it’s natural origin and natural production process (fermentation with a certain kind of yeast) I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly!
Even though I’m a bit biased towards erythritol, you can use other granulated keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Simply taste a tiny amount of the mass before oversweetening it and adjust accordingly.
sugar-free chocolate chips: if you can’t find sugar-free chocolate chips you can also use chocolate with at least 85% cacao content as well!
eggs: one whole egg
almond milk: unsweetened
melted butter: ideally grass-fed
baking powder: look for a gluten-free version without corn starch for paleo-friendly option or make your own one!
sugar-free vanilla extract
Optional:
I recommend to scrape 1/2 vanilla pod and add it as well but I listed it as optional because they are ridiciously expensive where I live right now.
Right now, one pod costs approx. 13$ and that would just be disproportionate for a quick mug cake.
Maybe they’re a bit cheaper where you live, if that’s the case I highly recommend to add it to the mug cake!

HOW TO MAKE A VANILLA CHOCOLATE CHIP KETO MUG CAKE:

1. Mix the ingredients:
Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl or mug until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.
Grease your microwave- or oven-safe mug with a plant oil or oil spray that doesn’t have a strong taste (I used coconut oil or butter in the past but recently I switched to avocado oil because it has a higher smoke point and is thus better for high temperature cooking).

2. Bake…
…in the microwave:
Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what microwave and what settings you’re using.
A broad rule of thumb: Approx. 1 Minute at 1200 Watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 Watt.
If you don’t know the Wattage power of your microwave I’d recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed.
This will avoid that the mug cake dries out.
You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick – if it comes out “clean” it’s ready!
… in the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
Follow the same steps as above.
Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.
Youcan test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick – if it comes out “clean” it’s ready!

3. Serve:
Enjoy right out of the oven as a warm and delicious keto dessert, or cover with plastic wrap and enjoy as a handy keto snack or even breakfast!
