Cinnamon Apple Pie Keto Mug Cake (Keto Dessert & Low Carb Dessert)
Yields2 Servings
Prep Time5 minsCook Time1 minTotal Time6 mins
 2 tbsp (28g) erythritol
 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter or coconut oil
 1 tbsp (15ml) unsweetened almond milk
 ½ tsp (gluten-free) baking powder
 1 egg
 ¼ (approx. 40g or 1.4oz) apple, shredded
  optional: powdered erythritol for decoration
Instructions: Microwave
1

Grate half of your apple piece.
Chop the other half into small cubes.
Mix all of the remaining ingredients except for the powdered erythritol in a small mug or bowl that's oven- or microwave safe.
Whisk until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.

2

Grease your microwave-safe mug with a cooking oil that doesn't have a strong taste (I usually use coconut oil or melted butter).

3

Add your cake batter into a mug (the mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients).

4

Microwave for about 60-90 seconds.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily because of a different microwave or settings used - I recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed. (To avoid dryness.)
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!

5

Optional:
Sprinkle a bit of powdered erythritol on top of your mug cake.

Serve warm or cold as a delicious keto snack!

Instructions: Oven
6

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).

7

Follow the same steps as above.
Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.
