Keto Nut Butter and Chocolate Chip Mug Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons smooth, unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour
  • 5 teaspoon Swerve sweetener (erythritol) or other low-carb sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar-free chocolate chips

Directions

Put the peanut butter, coconut oil and almond milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until the coconut oil has melted, about 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.

Sift the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt over the peanut butter mixture. Stir to combine. Divide the batter between 2 microwave-safe coffee mugs (about 1/4 cup/59ml per mug). Microwave mugs for 1 minute on high. The top of the blondie should be spongy and dry to the touch; you may need to microwave for an additional 10–20 seconds, depending on the power of your microwave. Serve immediately.
