Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 6 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp butter (melted)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Take a microwave-safe mug and thoroughly grease the interior with melted butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In the mug, combine almond flour, baking powder, and erythritol, whisking them together until well integrated and free of lumps.
- Add the large egg and unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients, stirring carefully with a fork until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
- Gently fold in half of the blueberries, allowing them to be distributed evenly throughout the batter.
- Microwave the mug cake on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overcooking.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with minimal crumbs.
- Allow the mug cake to rest and cool for 1-2 minutes after microwaving to set the structure.
- Top the cake with remaining fresh blueberries and optional keto-friendly whipped cream if desired.
- Serve warm directly from the mug and enjoy your quick keto dessert.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent texture.
- Grease Generously: Use melted butter to thoroughly coat the mug's interior, preventing the cake from sticking and ensuring easy removal.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Eliminate lumps in dry ingredients by whisking almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener carefully before adding wet ingredients.
- Microwave Wisely: Watch the cake closely during cooking - microwave times can vary, so start at 60 seconds and add 10-15 seconds if needed.
- Don't Overcook: A slightly underdone mug cake is preferable to a dry, rubbery one. The toothpick test is your best friend for checking doneness.
- Customize Your Toppings: While fresh blueberries are delicious, consider sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Experiment with Sweeteners: If erythritol isn't your preference, try monk fruit sweetener or stevia for different flavor profiles.
