Salted Caramel MCT Keto Mug Brownie

No matter how strong a Keto-follower you are, everyone- and I mean EVERYONE, thinks about cheating around the holidays “just a little bit”. This is especially difficult when that one neighbor makes those amazing fudgy brownies and drops them off for your family.

Well, worry no more! Mug cakes and tons of other dessert options have popped up around Pinterest and blogs everywhere. So, of course, there were tons of Keto-friendly mug ‘cakes’ to choose from, but WE WANT CHOCOLATE! Fast forward to some craving induced Pinterest scrolling and I finally nailed down what my body needed.

For this recipe, I incorporated NowKeto Salted Caramel MCT Oil Powder to give it that extra zing. It’s available on Amazon, or Nowketo.com, along with tons of other guilt-free flavors you can do so many things with.

Cook Time: 1 minute- 2 min. 30 seconds

Tools Required: Microwave, microwave-safe mug(s), measuring cups

• ¼ cup Coconut Flour (or Almond whichever you prefer)
• 1 ½ tbsp Alternative Sweeter (I used Swerve Confectioners)
• 2 tbsp Melted Salted Butter (or Ghee)
• 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• ¼ cup Coconut Milk
• ½ scoop NowKeto Salted Caramel MCT Oil Powder

OPTIONAL:

• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Keto Friendly Cream Cheese Frosting or Glaze

Steps:

1. Combine all dry ingredients together and stir to reduce pockets and lumps
2. Add in Coconut Milk and stir thoroughly
3. Melted butter and add to mix
4. Add a dash of coconut flour if too runny (we want a pancake mix consistency)
5. Line microwave-safe mug with non-stick cooking spray
6. Pour mixture into a mug (or split between two smaller mugs)
7. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then check every 15-30 seconds until sponge-y and cracked on top
8. Let cool for 5 minutes
9. Flip mug upside down over a plate or enjoy straight out of the mug!
