Keto Peanut Butter Mug Cake
Description
The Keto Peanut Butter Mug Cake combines soft peanut butter, coconut flour, a low-carb sweetener, and a touch of baking powder to create a compact cake that cooks rapidly in a microwave mug. Mixing all components directly in the mug simplifies preparation and cleanup. Including chopped dark or sugar-free chocolate adds richness and texture. Adjusting sweetness with additional sweetener or optional vanilla and cinnamon allows personal taste customization.
The finished cake is dense and moist, a satisfying treat when warmed. Its low net carb count makes it suitable for ketogenic diets. Preparation within a minute or so fits well for a quick dessert or snack. Sharing between two people is recommended due to its filling nature. The mug cake approach requires monitoring the microwave timing to avoid overcooking and drying out.
The cake pairs nicely with whipped cream or coconut cream toppings and additional chocolate chips if desired, but decorations are optional. Use soft peanut butter for best mixing consistency, though almond butter works as an alternative. This recipe suits those who want a small, indulgent keto-friendly dessert ready in minutes without baking an entire cake.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter soft
- 1 ½ tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon powdered sweetener add an additional ½ teaspoon if you have a sweet tooth
- 3 tablespoon heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy free

Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a tall glass or mug, using a fork. Fold in the chocolate last, if using.
- Microwave on high for up to 90 seconds. Check after 50 seconds and continue with 10-second bursts until the cake peels away from the mug and the centre is cooked.
Notes
- Use soft peanut butter to ensure smooth mixing; almond butter can be substituted.
- Optional additions include ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon cinnamon for extra flavor.
- The microwave cooking time varies; start checking at 50 seconds and continue in 10-second bursts until done.
- Share the cake between two for a filling dessert with about 3.6 net carbs per serving.
- Decorate with whipped or coconut cream and extra chocolate chips if desired, though not included in nutrition.
