Vanilla Keto Mug Cake Recipe
This mug cake recipe is not only a healthy option that those who are dieting will still be able to eat, but it is also a way for someone to enjoy the same comfort that others can get from other mug cakes without sacrificing their diet.
You’ll notice that the ingredients are keto-friendly, but the taste may make you feel like you’re having a cheat day:
- 3 tablespoons of almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3/4 tablespoon of Greek yogurt
- 3/4 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of sweetener
- 1 pinch of salt (If you use salted butter, you can skip this step)
This recipe is slightly different from the others, so stay with me.
- You’ll have to microwave your butter in the mug by itself for around 25-30 seconds, until the butter is hot and melted.
- You’ll add in the rest of your ingredients and make sure to mix the mixture well, ridding it of any lumps.
- Once your mixture is smooth and lump-free, microwave your mug for 60-70 seconds. The time that the cake microwaves for will vary depending on the strength of your microwave.
- As a rule of thumb, the kitchen is one place where an excess of something can be a bad thing. Start with a lower amount of time and if you need more, you can always put the mug back in the microwave.
- Once the mug cake is to your liking, take it out of the microwave and enjoy!

- 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy milk (this can be substituted for different plant milk if it appeals to you more)
Again, you will add all dry ingredients to the mug, make sure it is well-mixed, and then add in the final ingredients, mixing until it’s smooth. Afterward, you will only have to microwave your mug for one minute before your matcha mug cake is ready to eat!

Can I make a mug cake in bowl?
Yes, if you’re looking to make more than a mug cake but still use the same recipe, you can double the recipe and make it in a microwave-safe bowl rather than a mug.
Why does my mug cake taste bitter?
Using too much baking soda or baking powder is one of the most frequent mistakes made by bakers. Be aware that using too much baking soda or baking powder may cause cakes to rise above their intended height, which can cause a major mess in the oven as well as a metallic, bitter taste.
