Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter, plus extra for greasing mug
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (I have a grain-free baking powder recipe here)
- dash of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon beetroot powder (optional, gives it a red tint. You may use red food coloring if you like to.)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Pour the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into one med-large mug or divide into 2 small mugs.
- Use a spoon to level the batter so it is smooth.
- Place the unbaked mug cake into the microwave and microwave for 2 ½ minutes. Then check on the mug cake and continue baking in 30-second intervals until baked. It took 3 minutes in my microwave.
- Once baked, eat right away or top with frosting.
Notes
Note: The coffee mug will be hot when finished baking, so I recommend using oven mitts to remove it from the microwave.
Baking options: You can bake this in the oven. Check the FAQ section for details.
