Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp erythritol
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Melt the butter in a separate small bowl, then add the egg to the melted butter. Whisk these wet ingredients until they are completely blended and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the mug with the dry ingredients. Mix carefully with a fork or small whisk until the batter is completely uniform with no dry clumps remaining.
- Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of extra cinnamon and erythritol on top of the batter for additional flavor and texture.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, microwave in additional 10-15 second intervals.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before consuming. The cake will be very hot immediately after cooking.
- Optionally, garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or a small dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even cooking.
- Whisk dry and wet ingredients separately before combining to prevent lumps.
- Watch your microwave time carefully - every microwave is different, so start with 60 seconds and adjust as needed.
- For extra richness, use grass-fed butter or a high-quality alternative.
- Let the cake cool slightly to allow it to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Experiment with toppings like a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream, or a few chopped nuts.
- If you prefer a less eggy texture, you can substitute half the egg with a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
- Store any leftover ingredients in airtight containers to maintain freshness for future mug cakes.
