Substitutions and Variations

For the Sweetener – I used Swerve erythritol sweetener for this recipe but any brand will work. You can also use Monk Fruit sweetener or if you’re not following a low sugar diet, you can use real sugar as well.
For the Butter – You can also use coconut oil instead. I find that butter makes the mug cake more moist and soft but the oil will work as well.
For the Chocolate Chips – I used milk chocolate chips but you can use dark chocolate as well. Just make sure that they are low-carb chocolate chips (sugar free).
Peanut Butter. Peanut butter fans will love peanut butter chips in this dessert. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate taste amazing.
Cocoa Powder. You can add cocoa powder for more chocolate flavor.
Berries. Add berries or mix in berries before cooking for something different. This turns out like a cobbler if you bake them inside the mixture.

FAQs

How long do you cook a mug cake?

The cook time for this recipe will vary slightly depending on your microwave. Check your microwave power and adjust the cook time based on that power setting.

Most microwaves cook between 600W, 800W or 1000 W.

Here are a few ways to adjust the cook time based on your microwave. The power setting of your microwave is usually posted on a sticker inside the microwave.

600W – This is the lowest power of microwave, so you will need to add 20-30 seconds to the cook time of the mug cake to make sure that it gets cooked all the way through.

800W – This one has slightly more power, so just a little more cook time would need to be added to this recipe. I would add 10-15 seconds to the cook time.

1000W – This is the highest power types of microwaves and the most common in the US. This is the one that we used when testing this recipe and we found that 60 seconds was the perfect amount of time.

When making your mug cake, I recommend using the lower cook time provided in these ranges. Then check your cake and you can always cook in 10 more second intervals until the cake is done.

Also, keep in mind that your cake will continue to cook while it sits so it’s best to under cook the cake slightly so that it does not dry out while it sits.

What mug size for keto mug cake?

We used a 14 oz mug for this recipe and it worked perfectly. We had plenty of room at the top so I think a 12 oz mug would have worked great too!

Either size should be suitable but definitely don’t use anything smaller than 12 oz. You can use a mug or ramekin to make chocolate chip keto mug cake.

Also, make sure the mug that you use is microwave safe. It is super easy to make this dessert.
