Ingredients
  

  • For the mug cake:
  • 3 tablespoons fine almond flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol or allulose (or your favorite keto baking sweetener)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 1 teaspoon melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon brown-style keto sweetener (or granulated)
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener
  • 1–2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Choose the right mug: Use a microwave-safe mug that holds at least 12 ounces. Lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In the mug, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Add the egg, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, cinnamon, and brown-style sweetener. Drizzle over the batter and use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it in.
  5. Microwave: Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. Start checking at 60 seconds. The cake should look set on top but still moist. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Make the glaze: Stir powdered sweetener, vanilla, and just enough milk or cream to reach a thick drizzle. Add a tiny pinch of salt if desired.
  7. Finish and serve: Let the cake rest for 1 minute to set. Drizzle with glaze and enjoy warm.
