Ingredients
3 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
1 large egg
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for natural sweetness)
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond butter, shredded coconut, egg, honey or maple syrup (if using), baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, or until the mug cake is puffed up and cooked through (microwave times may vary).
Let cool slightly before eating. Enjoy warm straight from the mug!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, ensure your almond butter is dairy-free.
Add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Top with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
This recipe works great as a keto-friendly treat when sweetened with a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit or stevia.
