Chocolate Keto Mug Cake
You can scale this up however you want. For example:
10 servings:
- 30 tablespoon almond flour (1 ⅞ cups)
- 10 tablespoon cocoa powder (just over ½ cup)
- 20 tablespoon sweetener (1 ¼ cups)
- 5 teaspoon baking powder
Mix it really well and store in a jar.
How much to use per mug cake
Each time you want one, just scoop:
- 6 tablespoons of the dry mix
That scoop already includes the right ratio of everything, including the baking powder.
One small tip
Because baking powder can settle, give the jar a quick shake or stir before scooping, especially after it’s been sitting a few days.
Peanut Butter
Vanilla
Toppings
I like to top these keto mug cakes with sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free chocolate syrup, or whipped cream.

Hiya
Would love to know if this could be made in bulk and then portioned out per go (ie xx amount out of bulk dry ingredients into a mug then add egg and butter)?? I've tried to do the maths myself but not successfully!
TIA

Loved it using almond flour plus 4 packages of sweet n low. I also added a bit of cream. Baked for one minute.
Samantha Henderson says
Can you make chocolate peanut butter ones?? That could be yummy!
Jennifer Banz says
Definitely! You could add chocolate chips to the peanut butter version.
Susan says
I just made the chocolate version. Delicious. Had some cream on top. This is now my go to Mug cake.
Have to try the others now.
Linda says
So good, And also so easy using the microwave. We are trying to cut down on our electricity usage so back to using microwave and air fryer. Fingers crossed on air fryer that it doesn't use as much electricity as the oven. But mainly keto recipes, yes, thank you!
JP says
Most excellent and satisfying Keto dessert I’ve had in seven months since I’ve been Keto! I used Elevate protein flour from TikTok shop with almost no net carbs!
Anne says
I only use your recipe because it's so darn good! I have both Coco and peanut butter in it
Laura Nelson says
Thank you for these great KETO recipes. I try to follow keto, lost 80 pounds on it 7 years ago but so easy to not follow once you get off track.
Rija Jones says
I used both coconut flour and cocoa powder for my keto mug cake. Then spread each slice with peanut butter. That ticked all my boxes????
Thank you ❤️
Allen says
Very Very Easy and Delicious ????
Jenn says
I love this GF mug cake recipe. I actually make the chocolate one but put a tablespoon of peanut butter on top after it cooks ????
AN says
Well... I ended up making this twice, the first time absolutely hated it [ i substituted monk fruit extract, but I use the same amount, as if 1:1 ratio.... Which was hell!! for several hours, had a very bitter, odd taste in the mouth]
Then, i we'll find out that it's a tiny amount that should be used, of monk fruit extract, to match the 2tbs of other sugars. That was my second attempt...sooo much better!
Barb Funk says
Just made the vanilla and added blueberries and raspberries….touch of cinnamon in my husbands … and topped with whipped cream… . Omg sooooo good ????????
Mary says
