Heath bar #Keto Mug Cake #Recipe

Even the most disciplined low carber craves a treat every once in a while... or twice a week, I'm not judging. For those times when your sweet tooth refuses to be silenced, don't give in and reach for a donut or a huge piece of birthday cake (but if you do, get Publix, theirs is the best), try this easy mug cake instead.

It only has 5 net carbs and if your kids are like mine, you won't get to finish it all by yourself anyway, so it will probably be more like 3 net carbs. Sharing for the win!

I admit, there are a few steps to this recipe, but once you make it once or twice, it will be second nature. Note: It is important to do the steps in order, to assure you don't end up with a bowl full of fried egg.
Heath Bar #Keto Mug Cake #Recipe Nutritional Info
  1. Melt 2 Tbsp of butter in a microwave safe mug. (I use a chili type mug I found at Dollar Tree)
  2. Add 3 Tbsp of almond flour, 1 Tbsp coconut flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder (not soda), 1/4 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, *3 drops of liquid sucralose type sweetener, 1 Tbsp sugar free Torani English toffee flavored syrup and stir well. (or any s.f. syrup will work)
  3. Add 1 well beaten egg to this mixture, stir well and microwave for 90 seconds.
  4. When the 90 seconds is up, you might have to zap it for a few more seconds, if the middle is still mushy. I go in 15 second increments, until the middle is firm or a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Invert the cake onto a plate, add some *fresh whipped cream and eat it before anyone notices.
*You can make whipped cream easily at home by combining 2 Tbsp heavy cream, a drop or two of your favorite liquid sweetener and a splash of sf syrup and whisking with an electric whisk.
*If you don't have liquid, you can always use the packets or granulated, but it will add hidden carbs.
