Today we are cooking in our microwave because the oven is overrated. At least, it is over here. I’m all about using the not so much the rage cooking appliance that we all pretty much have: the microwave.
Since you didn’t come here to hear me go on a rant about microwaves, I’ll get to the point: this keto blueberry mug cake.
Reasons To Love This Blueberry Mug Cake
Ok, there are so many reasons to love this breakfast or snack – the first one being that you make it right there in the mug. In other words, we won’t be doing any extra dishes today.
Also, it takes less than ten minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings or a mid-day snack that’s tasty enough for kids to enjoy. Major bonus.
Another bonus? This muffin in a mug works for low carb diets (with 5.7 net carbs) as well as gluten-free, Paleo, and vegan eating plans.
In other words, it’s healthy across the board – for everyone.
Finally, you probably already have these ingredients in your pantry, which is always preferred when finding yourself in an I need a freaking muffin now situation.
Keto Blueberry Mug Cake Ingredients
3 tablespoons blanched almond flour – yes, blanched matters. You could use almond meal, but I stand by blanched almond flour 100%.
1 tablespoon coconut flour – this adds a little flavor and helps us stretch the almond flour since it’s a little on the pricey side of gluten-free flours.
1 tablespoon powdered so nourished or swerve
1 egg
¼ teaspoon baking powder – use a gluten-free brand if you’re staying away from gluten
1 teaspoon avocado oil – remember, on keto we add the healthy fats when we can
1 tablespoon butter (softened)
½ teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt (bonus points if you use Pink Himalayan)
10 blueberries
Making A Mug Cake: Step By Step
As I mentioned, this one is super easy – everything is going down right there in your mug.
So, grab a medium mug and mix the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Make sure you do your best to mix this well because the integrity of the entire recipe depends on it:)
Next, add in the avocado oil, egg, vanilla, and the blueberries and mix it up.
Now put it in the microwave and set the timer for 1 minute ten seconds.
Because I do not know where you are microwave-wise, I feel like I need to tell you that if the mug cake doesn’t look done after a minute ten – go ahead and put it back in for 10-second intervals until it looks like a blueberry muffin.
Top with blueberries, butter and a pinch of powdered erythritol or sugar-free whipped cream.
