Instructions

Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, cinnamon, butter, an egg, and vanilla extract.
Melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds. Once melted, stir in your sweetener of choice until it’s well mixed.
Next, add the egg, pinch of cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the butter and sweetener mixture. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Now, stir in the almond flour cocoa powder, and baking powder. Make sure everything is well combined, but don’t over-mix.
Pour the batter into your mug and microwave on high for about 45 seconds on high. The cake should rise and look cooked on the top.

Notes

Use a large coffee mug to prevent overflow when the cake rises.
Adjust the sweetener to your taste—some people like it sweeter, while others prefer a mild sweetness.
Microwave times may vary, so keep an eye on the cake as it cooks. It should be firm on top but still soft inside.
Cocoa powder can be used for making a chocolate flavor keto mug cake. You can skip cocoa for a regular almond flour mug cake.
