Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons almond flour

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg (medium)

1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts for added texture

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug (about 10 oz), combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

    Add the egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until fully integrated.

      Pour in the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. If desired, fold in a few sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.

        Microwave the mug on high for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on it as cooking time may vary depending on the microwave's wattage. The cake should rise and look set but still moist.

          Let it cool for a minute before enjoying straight from the mug! Feel free to top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra sweetener if desired.
