Ingredients
1 ½
Tablespoons
butter
ghee or coconut oil
1 ½
Tablespoons
cocoa powder
1
Tablespoon
Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener
1/32
teaspoon
stevia powder
½
teaspoon
baking powder
1
Tablespoon
unsweetened almond milk
2
Tablespoons
almond flour
1
egg
Instructions
Melt the butter, ghee or coconut oil in a coffee mug.
Add the cocoa powder and stir to combine.
Now add the sweetener, stevia and baking powder. Stir to combine.
Pour in the almond milk and stir to combine.
Stir in the almond flower, then the whole egg.
Stir everything together thoroughly and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. {I used a 1200 watt microwave}.
Remove from microwave and allow to cool a bit before serving.
Notes
Mug should be at least 12 ounces or your mug cake will overflow while cooking.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Stevia sweetened whipped cream – adds less than 1 carb
Chopped almonds, hazelnuts, or peanuts – depends on variety and amount used
Stevia sweetened coconut whipped cream – adds less than 1 carb
Stir in stevia sweetened chocolate chips before baking, or sprinkle on top – 10 mini Lily’s chips adds approximately 1 carb
FLOUR SUBSTITUTIONS:
Pecan meal was not as fine as the almond flour and didn’t add to the flavor.
Coconut flour – I am allergic so I did not try this one. I do know that you would need a lot less, about 2 teaspoons instead of Tablespoons.
I am going to try hazelnut flour next and I will let you know how it goes.
SWEETENER SUBSTITUTIONS:
2 Tablespoons of Lakanto sweetener and no stevia – may cause gastric distress if you are not used to it.
1/32 teaspoon of stevia (the recommended serving size) will not be sweet enough. If you add more it will be bitter.
2 Tablespoons Allulose is sweet enough but causes gastric distress if you are not used to it.
2 Tablespoons erythritol, but it may cause a cooling sensation.
