Keto Brownie Mug Cake Ingredients

 

How to Make the 3-Minute Keto Brownie Mug Cake

  1. Mix the coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla and cocoa in a large microwavable bowl. USE a very large bowl because the batter will overflow if the bowl is too small.
  2. Add baking powder and ground flax seed.
  3. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. The flaxseed will thicken the mixture.
  4. Microwave for about 2.5-3 minutes or until the center is cooked.

*Since some people reported it being too hard at 3 minutes, if this is your first time making it, I suggest you microwave it for 1 minute and then 30 second intervals after that. Check it for preferred doneness every 30 seconds.

**I suggest eating it right out of the bowl.

 

Ingredients for the Keto Caramel Sauce

 
 
A whole batch

Personal serving (enough for 2)

 

How to Make the Keto Caramel Sauce

 
  1. Before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go – the cream and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in.Maria notes that if you don’t work fast, the sweetener will burn.
  2. Heat butter on high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan.
  3. As soon as it comes to a boil, watch for specks of brown.
  4. Immediately add the sweetener and the coconut milk or cream to the pan.
  5. Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth and is that light caramel colour. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, and then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool to room temperature.
  6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

*Note – this sauce does harden when it cools. Heat up again for that smooth caramel sauce.

How to Make the Personal Serving of the Keto Caramel Sauce

  1. Melt the butter in a microwavable bowl. *The bowl needs to be large since the caramel sauce will easily bubble over the top of a small bowl.
  2. Add the sweetener and coconut milk.
  3. Mix, and microwave until a light caramel colour.
  4. It takes about 3 minutes. Carefully watch it.Be careful it will be extremely hot.

How Can I Make a Paleo Brownie Mug Cake?

This is so simple and I do it all the time! Use raw honey or your preferred Paleo sweetener instead of erythitol/monk fruit.

How Can I Bake the Keto Brownie Mug Cake?

I suggest you try out my Coconut Flour Brownies. They are perfect for a larger batch of brownies and are easy to make. They are also nut-free just like this brownie recipe.

Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of full fat Aroy-D coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp of  erythitol
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed

Instructions

    1. Mix the coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla and cocoa in a large microwavable bowl. Use a very large bowl because the batter will overflow if the bowl is too small.

    3. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. The flaxseed will thicken the mixture.
    4. Microwave for about 2.5-3 minutes or until the center is cooked.

Notes

I don't recommend using almond milk, or heavy cream for the brownie. You need the creaminess of the coconut milk.

*Since some people reported it being too hard at 3 minutes, if this is your first time making it, I suggest you microwave it for 1 minute and then 30 second intervals after that. Check it for preferred doneness every 30 seconds.
