It’s been a while since I published my last keto mug cake recipe.
But now I can proudly announce a new addition to my keto mug cake collection here on my blog:
this super easy keto blueberry mug cake.
I love to try out new combinations and I don’t know why I haven’t thought about a ketogenic blueberry mug cake before.
It’s one of the easiest mug cake recipes here on my blog and if you’ve visited this blog before, you know I love easy recipes.
And with only about 4.7g net carbs per serving (1/2 a mug cake), it’s perfectly suitable for the ketogenic diet!
Of course, it also tastes good!
My boyfriend serves as a loyal reviewer of all my recipes and he said this is his favorite keto mug cake recipe so far!

KETO BLUEBERRY MUG CAKE INGREDIENTS:
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card at the end of this post!)
in my opinion, the BEST keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of it’s natural origin and natural production process (fermentation with a certain kind of yeast) I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly!
Even though I’m a bit biased towards erythritol, you can use other granulated keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Simply taste a tiny amount of the mass before oversweetening it and adjust accordingly.
I highly recommend using frozen blueberries and not fresh blueberries.
If you use fresh ones, they will break during the stirring process and mix completely with the dough.
This isn’t a super big deal, but in my opinion, it tastes a lot better if the blueberries are whole and spread throughout the dough, which is only possible if the blueberries are frozen during the mixing process.
If you use fresh blueberries they will also color the dough into a rather unappetizing looking purple/blue shade, which doesn’t affect the taste but as we all know: You eat with your eyes first.
I usually use melted butter for most of my keto mug cake recipes but you can easily turn it paleo by swapping the butter for coconut oil or a similar fat of your choice.
Optional: Blueberry cream cheese topping
The cream cheese topping is optional.
The topping will dry out rather quickly when you store the mug cake in your fridge, that’s why I recommend making it fresh whenever you want to eat your mug cake.
Mash about a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries (10-15 blueberries) with a fork.
HOW TO MAKE A KETO BLUEBERRY MUG CAKE:
1. Mix the ingredients:
Mix all of the ingredients except for the frozen blueberries in a small bowl or mug until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.
Add the blueberries last and mix again until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Grease your microwave- or oven-safe mug with a plant oil or oil spray that doesn’t have a strong taste (I usually use coconut oil, butter or avocado oil to do this).
2. Bake…
…in the microwave:
Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what microwave and what settings you’re using.
A broad rule of thumb: Approx. 1 Minute at 1200 Watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 Watt.
If you don’t know the Wattage power of your microwave I’d recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed.
This will avoid that the mug cake dries out.
You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick – if it comes out “clean” it’s ready!
… in the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
Follow the same steps as above.
Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.

3. Serve:
Optional: Add blueberry cream cheese topping.
Mash a handful of blueberries (approx. 10-15 blueberries) with a fork and mix with the remaining ingredients for the blueberry cream cheese topping.
Add to your keto blueberry mug cake before serving.
Enjoy right out of the oven as a warm and delicious keto dessert, or cover with plastic wrap and enjoy as a handy keto snack or even breakfast!
WATCH VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS:

Nutrition Info:
One serving of this keto mug cake (half of the mug cake) has 4.7g net carbs (13.6g total carbs and 8.9g dietary fiber), 13.1g fat, 13.2g protein and 212 calories.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.

Probably the best mug cake I’ve made. I mixed 50g mixed frozen berries into it. Worked perfectly. Closest thing to a “real” cake I’ve had. I did it in the microwave. I will try in the oven next.
One or my favorite mug cake recipes, but it doesn’t brown at all in the microwave like in the photo. I’m wondering if I could bake this in the oven or finish it off in there. Also, other keto mug cakes have an eggy flavor that’s hard to get away from. This doesn’t taste eggy at all!
