Utensils Needed for the Recipe

1 regular bowl: We’ll use a bowl to mix the ingredients before transferring them to the mug; any model should suffice.

1 whisk or fork: A whisk is handy for mixing ingredients in recipes, especially those with pure and slightly stubborn ingredients like cocoa. It also helps whisk the egg more quickly. But don’t worry, if you don’t have a whisk, you can also use a fork to mix; you’ll just need a bit more patience.

1 measuring spoon or regular spoon: I love using the little keychain spoons; besides being practical, they’re adorable! Don’t have one yet? No worries, the good old tablespoon works just fine too

1 sieve: The sieve will help make the flour finer and prevent the batter from having those ‘grains’.

2 microwave-safe mugs/containers: It’s very important to use mugs or containers that are safe for the microwave. Since this recipe yields two low-carb mug cakes, I used 2 small ramekins

You can also make a larger healthy chocolate mug cake instead of two small ones by putting all the batter in one mug, just be careful not to fill it more than halfway to avoid the risk of overflowing and making a mess.

Ingredients for the Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake with Coconut Flour

The quantities are listed in the instructions below and in the recipe card for printing at the end of the post.

Egg: Helps moisten the batter of our petit gateau and adds protein.

Sweetener: Xylitol, erythritol, and stevia are a smart and delicious way to sweeten fit recipes without adding extra calories. In this case, I used xylitol.

Coconut oil or olive oil: A little bit of healthy fat to ensure an incredible texture.

100% Cocoa Powder: This ingredient will make the batter super chocolatey and also add other benefits.

Coconut or oat flour: After testing this recipe with both oat and coconut flour, I realized it works with both. However, besides the obvious differences, such as the nutrients in coconut flour, I noticed two other things:

1. Texture: Coconut flour doesn’t give the same fluffy texture to your microwave keto cake as oat flour does.
2. Flavor: Coconut flour is naturally slightly sweet and adds a delicious hint of coconut to the recipe, unlike oat flour, which has a neutral flavor.

For coconut flour, use one level tablespoon, for oat flour, use a slightly rounded tablespoon.

70% Chocolate Bar: The chocolate pieces will melt in the center of the batter, adding creaminess.

Attention: For those with gluten and lactose intolerances or dairy allergies, it’s important to pay attention to the components of the ingredients, especially in the chocolate bar and the choice of flour (due to possible cross-contamination).

Step-by-Step Guide for the Chocolate Keto Mug Cake (With Images)

Step 1

In a bowl, add 1 egg ans whisk it until the yolk and white are 100% combined.

While doing this, repeat after me: “I will never put egg recipes in the microwave without mixing the yolk and white 100%!” And just like that, your chances of having a recipe explode in the microwave drop by approximately 70%.

Step 2

Then, add 1 tablespoon of sweetener and mix well. I used xylitol, but other sweeteners like erythritol and stevia will also work.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil and mix. Both work, but it’s always good to remember the famous rule of the fit world: olive oil for savory recipes and coconut oil for sweets. That said, I must confess that in the absence of coconut oil, I used olive oil and honestly didn’t notice a difference.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and mix well.

Step 5

Sift 1 tablespoon of coconut flour or oat flour and add it to the batter. If you choose oat flour, I recommend using a slightly rounded tablespoon.

Step 6

Mix well and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes (optional).

Step 7

Take two microwave-safe mugs or small containers, divide the batter between them, and add a piece of chocolate in the center of each.

Additionally, you can also put all the batter in a single mug and make a larger keto chocolate mug cake, it’s up to you. Just remember to choose a mug where the batter doesn’t fill more than half of its capacity to avoid a mess.

Step 8

Microwave on high power for 40 seconds.

Step 9

Afterward, you can eat it straight from the mug or unmold it. The batter doesn’t tend to stick; you just need to flip the mug and tap it a few times. If needed, run a knife along the edges of the coconut flour mug cake to help release it.

Tips for an Amazing Keto Chocolate Mug Cake With Coconut Flour

After placing the batter in the mug to microwave, give the bottom of the container a few taps; this will prevent your mug cake from having too many bubbles.

Along with the chocolate bar in the center of the low-carb petit gateau, you can also add chopped nuts and pieces of fruit, such as strawberries.

Can I Prepare this Healthy Mug Cake in Advance?

Yes! Since this recipe doesn’t contain baking powder, it’s really convenient and can be prepared in advance. However, it’s worth noting that the texture of freshly made batter always turns out better.

For storage, don’t store the ready-made coconut flour mug cake (after microwaving), as the texture won’t be great. Instead, prepare the batter first, refrigerate it, and when you’re ready to eat, microwave it.

• Refrigerator: Prepare the batter and store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Then, transfer the batter to one or two mugs and microwave as usual.
• Freezer: Prepare the batter and freeze it in a tightly sealed container or bag for up to 1 month. To thaw, place the batter in the refrigerator overnight, then microwave as usual.
