For the chocolate cravings, a rich keto chocolate mug cake is a sweet treat made with yummy chocolate! The best part is that this is a low carb chocolate mug cake just the right size! Use any keto-friendly sweetener and your favorite microwave-safe mug. It only takes one minute of cook time, a few simple ingredients to produce a delicious mug cake with rich chocolate flavor that will satisfy that sweet tooth. This easy keto chocolate mug cake is surprisingly moist and has a fluffy texture, just as chocolate be.
One single serving of this low carb mug cake has approximately 13g total carbs. Using coconut flour greatly reduces the carbs, however if you’re not allergic to nuts, you can substitute coconut flour with the same amount of almond flour for this keto cake. In most cases these two ingredients are interchangeable in keto desserts.
