With a total of 13g of Net Carbs per cake, this little treat can be the perfect option for a dessert or even breakfast. The mug cake is full of nutrients and yet makes you feel like you’re cheating!
Diets are all about balance. If you’re on a low carb or keto diet, you may be avoiding desserts.
After all, desserts are typically loaded with sugar. And sugar is definitely not good for helping you stay in a state of ketosis- or maintaining your waistline.
This keto mug cake is meant for those times. At only 13 grams of net carbs, it’s perfect for a low carb diet.
It’s also high in fat and has a decent amount of protein and fiber. So, you feel satiated after eating it.
As an added bonus, it also provides 23% of your daily vitamin C needs and 15% of your daily vitamin A needs.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Egg (1)
Coconut Flour (2 tbsp) – To make this cake low carb, you’re going to use coconut flour. If you’re new to coconut flour be sure to give some a try here.
Double Cream (2 tbsp) – Since coconut flour can be drying, you’re also going to be using some double cream. Double cream makes the cake nice and moist. The last thing you want is a dry cake!
Blueberries (10-12) – And for that nice burst of blueberry flavor, you’ll be using some fresh blueberries. Blueberries are not only tasty but pretty nutritious as well.
Granulated erythritol (2 tbsp) – For added sweetness, you’ll be using erythritol. Erythritol is a natural sweetener that doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes.
You can use it in your baking or even your tea or coffee. If you’d like to give it a try, you can get some here.
Fresh lemon juice (2 tbsp) – And let’s not forget the fresh lemon juice. You’re going to be using it to balance out the sweetness. Besides adding some tartness, fresh lemon juice is also good for you.
Vanilla extract (1/4 tsp)
Baking Powder (1/4 tsp)
Salt (a pinch)
How to Make 3-Minute Keto Blueberry Mug Cake
Step 1. Whisk egg, double cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together.
Step 2. Mix coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Step 3. Mix dry and wet ingredients. Softly mix in the blueberries.
Step 4. Pour the batter into a mug. Microwave for 60 seconds at 800 watts. Check out with a toothpick whether it’s cooked. If not, continue microwaving and continue checking every 20 seconds.
Step 5. You can add some whipped cream on top for that extra moisture if you wish. That’s completely optional though.

Can this recipe be done with plant milk instead of cows milk? I’m lactose and prefer coconut milk/cream/heavy cream the best over all but really wondering if I can steer clear of dairy cream. Thank you.
yes, you can use coconut cream 🙂
Hi, can I make this with almond flower instead of coconut flower?
Hey Mary,
Yes, you’ll need to use 4x almond flour though. So, in this case you’d want to use 8 tbsp instead of 2.
Hi!
I don’t own a microwave and don’t want one. So, how long would it take to make this blueberry mug cake and all the featured mug cakes in a convection oven?
Thanks
Good question Simone!
You can bake the mug cake in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. 🙂
