Keto Avocado Smoothie Ingredients:
Here’s everything you will need to make the macaroons:
- Almond butter – Use almond butter that’s got no added salt or sugar.
- Egg – 1 whole large room temperature egg
- Sweetener – Use any keto friendly sweetener you like. I use erythritol or monk fruit.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Baking powder
How to make the low carb mug cake:
Step 1: Take a microwave safe mug (I use a 12 oz mug) and add almond butter and an egg and mix until well combined. This may take up to a minute. Use room temperature eggs to make the wet ingredients combine easier.
Step 2: Add in the dry ingredients (sweetener, cocoa powder and baking powder). Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Place the mug into your microwave oven and microwave for 30 seconds. Check and if it’s too liquid-y, microwave for an additional 10 seconds. The cake should be gooey and soft (but not liquid!) when it’s done cooking and not fully cooked like a typical mug cake. That’s what makes it extra delicious!
Optional: Add some heavy whipping cream or keto ice cream or keto friendly fruit on top of the cake for extra deliciousness. You can also drizzle the keto dessert with some melted dark chocolate.
Note: Microwave times may vary based on different microwaves.
