Instructions
Microwave (7 minutes total time)
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, and chocolate. Mix until smooth.
- Equally divide batter into four, well-greased coffee mugs or microwave-safe ramekins.
- Microwave on high for 1-1 ½ minutes (700 watts). Remove and let the mug cakes cool for one minute.
Oven (20 minutes total time)
If you don’t want to use your microwave, you can bake the muffins in the oven. In fact, if you have the time, we recommend that you do. Microwaves vary in capacity and the results depend upon the size of your mug, etc.- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, and chocolate. Mix until smooth.
- Place liners in a muffin pan, and fill them halfway.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until springy when touched gently in the middle.
Tip!
Keep in mind that the mug cakes will initially swell to double their size when baking in the microwave, then they will shrink back down. Fill the mug to a maximum of two-thirds. Special occasion? Whip up some keto buttercream and pipe a nice rosette on top. These muffins can also be decorated with berries and whipped cream.

Hello,
Try using half the amount of cocoa powder and substitute for the same amount of almond flour.
Best,
Kristin
You may wish to refrigerate them but yes, they will still be good the next day. Many keto baked goods actually taste even better the next day.

I love them, i'm so happy that i can still eat something chocolaty !
I have put Stevia cubes, that i crmbled myself, because i didn't have erythriol, they are just AWESOME!
I would recommend waiting until you get baking powder to make this recipe.
Usually 2 mins for mug cakes
Microwave on high for 1-1 ½ minutes (700 watts).
It says 1-1 1/2 minutes. 12-14 if you're baking in the oven.
I would not recommend omitting the egg in this recipe.
We have not tested this recipe with coconut flour. It requires much more moisture than almond or hazelnut flour.
Yes, these can store well in the refrigerator and freezer.
I warmed mine and had it with strawbberry and some extra thick cream.
Brand availability is going to vary by location. Anything that's 100% cocoa will work though different brands may have different carb counts.
That sounds pretty good! You're only using 10g cocoa powder if you're making the 4 servings.
