Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated carrots, baking powder, cinnamon, and erythritol. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices and leavening agent.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the egg, blending until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir gently but completely, ensuring no dry flour pockets remain. The batter should have a consistent, slightly thick texture.
- Grease a microwave-safe mug with a light coating of coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the mixed batter into the prepared mug, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Microwave the mug cake on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on microwave wattage.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, microwave in additional 10-15 second intervals.
- Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. The cake will be hot and continue to set as it cools.
- Optional: Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or a small dollop of sugar-free cream cheese frosting if desired.
Tips
- • Use fresh, finely grated carrots for the best texture and moisture • Make sure to mix dry and wet ingredients thoroughly to avoid flour clumps • Watch your microwave time carefully - every microwave is slightly different • For extra moisture, you can add a small splash of almond milk to the batter • Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two to achieve the perfect consistency • If you want a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the spice mix • For a cream cheese frosting alternative, mix a tablespoon of softened cream cheese with a touch of erythritol • Use a wide, microwave-safe mug to ensure even cooking and prevent overflow • For best results, use room temperature egg and melted (not hot) coconut oil
