Here’s a quick and delicious Keto Lemon Mug Cake recipe that’s perfect for a low-carb, sweet treat in just a few minutes!

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or any keto-friendly milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Topping:

  • Whipped cream (unsweetened, or keto-friendly)
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mug: Choose a microwave-safe mug (around 8 oz capacity) and lightly grease the inside with a little butter or cooking spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the mug, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the egg, melted butter, lemon juice, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until smooth.
  4. Microwave: Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking time can vary depending on your microwave, so start checking after 1 minute. The cake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch.
  5. Cool Slightly: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying.
  6. Serve: Optionally, top your mug cake with some whipped cream or a few fresh berries for extra flavor and garnish.

Tips:

  • Sweetener Adjustments: Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Add-ins: For an extra lemony punch, you can add a few more teaspoons of lemon juice or zest. You can also try adding a little poppy seed for a classic lemon poppy seed flavor.
  • Texture: If you’d like a fluffier cake, add a little extra almond milk or a bit more baking powder. You can also experiment with adding a tablespoon of sour cream to give it a richer texture.

Enjoy this Keto Lemon Mug Cake as a refreshing and easy treat when you need a low-carb, lemony dessert! 🍋
