This keto mug brownie is the perfect single serving dessert whenever you are wanting something sweet. In less than 5 minutes you have a rich and fudgy treat! When I want a quick and easy dessert, I always go for this keto brownie in a mug. It is super chocolatey and I love the texture from the walnuts.
How to make the best keto mug brownie with walnuts
This recipe really couldn't be more simple. We start with 1 tablespoon of butter and melt that in the mug. When it is melted, swirl it around the bottom of the mug so it is coated and non-stick. Now throw in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Microwave on high for 60 seconds and you have a super delicious keto brownie in a mug!

Easy recipe that saves me from myself at night. Usually 1/2 is enough to satisfy that sweet tooth
Maybe the folks who complained about it being dry used just coconut flour and needed to add a tablespoon of coffee or water so it wasn’t as dry
I use a pinch of instant coffee in the recipe to enhance the chocolate flavor

THANK YOU Jennifer, these brownies are so good. I didn't put em in a mug, I put them in a little square dish. I can't wait for my husband to try em. ❤️

Amazing! I added a pinch of salt, the skinny dipped peanut butter cups and what someone else posted in the comments topped it with heavy cream. I did 30 sec and then another 20 and it was gooey brownie texture. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I Accidentally used only 2 T almond flour and it was like a heavy mousse. I topped with 2T Sweetened cream
This is definitely the best mug brownie
It was dinner

Since changing to a keto lifestyle 4 months ago, this have been my absolute favorite mug brownie recipe whenever I'm craving a treat. I simply leave out the walnuts to lower the carb content even further. I also remove the brownie from the mug and cut it into 3 slices. Reminds me of a chocolate chip muffin top! Thanks so much for this amazing recipe
Diana says
Excellent treat. I make this at least once per week. Olive oil, coconut oil or butter for variety. I microwave shorter time to make softer cake.
Add chocolate chips or walnuts. Top with cinnamon sometimes.

This is so helpful when I need to get a chocolate fix! I've made this several times. Throw a little sugar free wiped cream..yum

Diane DeGray says
I like to make up several of these at a time by measuring all of the dry ingredients for a single serving into a sandwich bag . Then all I need to do is grab one when I want it and add the egg, vanilla and butter (or I use coconut oil) and in a minute I have a great dessert! Thanks for sharing your great recipes!

Hi! You should try again. Check all your ingredients, too. I've been making myself & my diabetic partner one every night for 3 weeks. They are really good. I would say "Try Again".
