Servings: 1 peanut butter mug cake
Calories: 390kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp + 2 tsp natural peanut butter melted
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 egg yolk whisked
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp sukrin brown sweetener 10g (or another tablespoon of monkfruit sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 10g
  • 2 tbsp almond flour 14g
  • 1 tsp coconut flour 3g
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of xanthan gum optional, helps make it chewy!
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tsp heavy cream optional, if you want a softer/gooier mug cake
  • chopped peanuts and/or additional peanut butter for topping

Instructions

  • In a bowl (or the greased ramekin/mug you want to use) mix together the peanut butter, butter, egg yolk and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  • Add the two sweeteners and mix well once again.
  • Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt and mix again until you get a nice thick dough. (You can add 1-2 tsp heavy cream at this point for a gooier cake).
  • Press this dough evenly into the bottom of the ramekin or whichever greased mug you plan to use.
  • Microwave the cake for ~45s then top with additional chopped peanuts and peanut butter if desired and enjoy!

Notes

**Note - These are updated directions compared to my youtube video. I found this way easier, you don't have to use an extra bowl and it helps to fully dissolve the sweeteners!**

Tips For Making This Keto Peanut Butter Mug Cake

  • This cake reminds me of a chewy peanut butter cookie but if you'd like it more cake like, add a bit of heavy cream to the batter!
  • Don't like peanut butter? Try this cake with almond butter or hazelnut butter instead!
  • All microwaves vary, if yours is quite high heat like mine, you may only need 45s where-as if you microwave tends to heat more slowly, you may need a full minute. You can also bake it less if you want a softer, more gooey cake!
