I made this wirh almond flour and it’s SO GOOD!
Teri says
Yeah so this is a keeper! I really liked the light, fluffy texture the cocnut flour adds. I did the peanut butter with PB Fit and added about 7 peanuts. Yummy! Thank you so much!
Tanya says
My husband and I made the chocolate mug cake tonight with the 1 tablespoon of coconut flour and it was delicious.
Dee says
I am in love. I made the chocolate mug cake. It was delicious, not eggy at all.
Nik says
I've rejoined the keto lifestyle after 10 or so years, and used to follow a keto mug cake recipe way back then. I can't believe how GOOD this recipe is by comparison! This tastes like actual chocolate cake with absolutely no taste of egg whatsoever - and I followed the recipe to a tee. This has everything in regards to fluffiness, texture and flavour a chocolate cake should have . Your page is now saved as a one-click on my phone!
Barbie says
Made this tonight for my husband. I used coconut flour but it seemed too runny so I upped the amount to 2 Tbsp. It tastes pretty good but it is a little eggy. I'm curious, why is it 3 Tbsp almond flour when coconut is only 1 Tbsp? Seems a big difference.
jj says
tastes like egg. not at all worth the carbs
Amanda Bailey says
I really wanna like this but it tastes like eggs. I tried vanilla and chocolate versions
Hector says
Whoa that was amazing. Did the peanut butter one. Drizzled some rebel ice cream on top and a little bit of coconut milk, mmmm good.
Deb G says
of all the mug cakes i’ve tried this was the only one that worked on the first try!! It was delicious!????
Connie says
So good!!! I'll be making this a lot!! So easy and fast! I made the chocolate version with the peanutbutter and almond flour.
Linda Nennig says
Quick & Easy delicious
Yvonne says
I made the peanut butter one. Personally the sodium from the baking soda was too strong for me so I'll cut it down to 1/4 tsp next time but the base was great. I loved the consistency and it satisfied my craving for something bready.
Nicole J says
I just made the peanut butter one and it was quite delicious. You mentioned using baking SODA and the recipe calls for baking POWDER. This definitely makes a difference, so I wanted to send you a little comment in case you used the wrong one!
I’ve accidentally used baking soda and it absolutely tasted salty when it normally doesn’t.
Jo says
Recipe calls for Baking Powder not a Baking Soda.
Michelle says
This is so good, I’ve made the chocolate a couple times with chocolate chips. I drizzle choc zero caramel syrup over top. Divine!
Pam Gregory says
First of all, I love your baking recipes…they are the best! I made the chocolate mug cake with a few extra chips and chopped walnuts sprinkled over the top when it came out of the microwave. Very good. I made mine with the almond flour.if you want a quick dessert and don’t want any leftovers ,then this is perfect. I may try the vanilla next and add some lemon zest a few blueberries and a lemon drizzle next. Thanks for your great recipes.
Jennifer Sykes says
Easy to make great for the sweet tooth #jbrecipeofthemonth
Lucie says
I made the Chocolate and it came out too dry. ????
Kim Doss says
Just made the chocolate mug cake. Omg was that good. I had my husband try it too because he is a sweets lover and he kept saying this is so good and it’s doesn’t have real sugar in it. It’s a keeper.
Brenda Kelley says
I made the peanut butter one. Was very good! Not dry like a lot of them are.
Shari says
I used coconut flour and Choczero chips. I sprinkled in some chopped walnuts as per the mug brownie directions. It was delish - filling and a good portion. Helps my cravings for dessert a few times a week as I am acclimating to the low-carb/keto eating regimen. I feel good! This did not upset my stomach (and my stomach is sensitive). Yum!
Charity says
Loved this! I have previously done a almond flour/olive oil mug cake, but I was in the mood for something lighter. I made the chocolate version with coconut flour. Topped it with some homemade vanilla whipped cream. Yum!! And I was impressed at how moist it was! Definitely going to keep this one in my favorites.
Barbara Watson says
This was delicious but huge! Followed directions exactly with almond flour.Made chocolate for my husband loved it .My peanut butter one was great maybe I'll use smooth peanut butter next time .No after taste gamechanger !
Ladeana says
I followed the directions but I must have done something wrong. I thought it was really awful. Maybe it needed less almond flour.
Peter says
I made the chocolate one with the chocolate chips, coconut flour and put some whipped cream on it. Amazing.
Kelly says
Most mug cakes aren’t good, but this one absolutely was. I used coconut flour because sometimes I just don’t want the heaviness of almond flour. I used a flax egg per another commenter’s suggestion. Delicious and helped my chocolate fix immensely.
Ginny says
So good I made the peanut butter cake. It was just what I was wanting.
Shirley Homan says
Thank you for these easy, delicious recipes. You are the best.
Adriana says
Made it this evening & added a pinch of pink salt. Tasted so good!
Jennifer Rodgers says
This is the best keto mug cake recipe ever - thanks so much! 🙂
Tjitske says
I tried this one as airfryer mini muffins, and I haven't been able to stop eating them. SO MOIST SO AMAZING
I made the first batch with egg and after that with flax-eggs, and some more water. The second option is currently my favourite.
Thanks so much, I've been trying to get a lower carb breakfast pastry after the fathead pain au chocolat.
Cat says
wow this was so good! made the chocolate version with coconut flour and will make again. thanks!
Amy says
I just made this in less than 5 minutes. It is fast and delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
Stef says
To easy... Made e times already! We've had tomcook.longer in our microwave as was still raw. I add peanut butter to the choc mix. Made cupcakes version and large one. Find it's enough to.share...... will try the blueberry next time.... thankyou
Kevin says
The best ever. So good. You mentioned we can use peanut butter powder, is it still 1 T?
Jennifer Banz says
yes, 1 tablespoon
Janice Payne says
Lovely, delicious treat and omg so tasty.
Is there an alternative to the egg please
My son has egg allergy
Jennifer Banz says
You could try a flax egg. 1 tablespoon of flaxseed mill mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Sylvia Sapien says
You can substitute egg with a tbsp of mayonnaise.
Jennifer Banz says
Mayonnaise is made with egg.
Deborah Knight says
Do you think this recipe would work with just the egg white, which would make it less eggy tasting?
jenniferbanz says
Yes, that will work
Dave H. says
WOW!!!!! I can't believe how good this tastes! I tried the chocolate version with Besti Monk Fruit & Allulose blend. I would never have guessed it was low carb. I will definitely be making this again when I'm craving something chocolate.
Sharon Harris says
What do you use to figure out the nutrition facts?
jenniferbanz says
A nutrition program
Erin says
Omg....made the vanilla version with some lily's chocolate chips....definitely hit the spot!!
Carl J Greenfield says
I was craving something light and sweet for dessert and found this recipe. My daughter and I made the chocolate and peanut butter cakes using almond flour and an erythritol/monk fruit sweetener.
They were wonderfully delicious and really hit the spot. I will definitely make this again. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other recipes on this website.
