Description
This single-serving keto mug brownie is the perfect answer to a sudden craving. It’s rich, fudgy, and ready in under two minutes. We’ve balanced this recipe to be perfectly low-carb, using almond flour and a sugar-free sweetener to keep net carbs incredibly low. The addition of instant espresso and a hint of cinnamon creates a deep, complex mocha-spice flavor that makes this simple treat feel truly decadent.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tbsp granulated allulose (or erythritol sweetener)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp sodium-free baking powder
- 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a 10 to 12-ounce (300-350ml) microwave-safe mug, add the almond flour, sweetener, cacao powder, sodium-free baking powder, instant espresso powder, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork to whisk these ingredients together thoroughly, breaking up any clumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the avocado oil, egg yolk, and vanilla extract directly into the mug with the dry ingredients.
- Mix Batter: Whisk vigorously with the fork until a smooth, thick, and glossy batter forms. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mug to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the center of your microwave. Cook on high power for 75-90 seconds. The brownie will puff up and should be just firm to the touch on top. Be careful not to overcook, as it will continue to set as it cools.
- Serve: Let the brownie cool for 1-2 minutes (it will be extremely hot). Enjoy directly from the mug.
