Description
A quick and easy Keto Cinnamon Swirl Mug Cake that satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping you on track with your keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolate flavor)
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- For the cinnamon swirl:
- 1 tablespoon softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the egg, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, cocoa powder (if desired), melted butter, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using). Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter.
- In a separate small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, erythritol, and cinnamon until the mixture is creamy and well integrated.
- Spoon half of the batter into the mug, then add spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter over this layer.
- Use a toothpick or a knife to create a gentle swirl, mixing the cream cheese into the batter without fully combining.
- Microwave the mug cake on high for about 60 to 90 seconds, keeping an eye on it until it is set but still has a moist texture.
- Allow it to cool for a minute before digging in.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour.
- Incorporate some chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter for added crunch and flavor.
