How To Make Blueberry Keto Mug Cake Recipe
Start by getting a microwave-safe mug for your recipe. It’s important to choose a coffee mug that is wide and shallow enough to allow your cake to cook evenly all the way through. You can use small ramekin as well.

Grab yourself this special keto mug cake mug specially designed by me for you!
Start by gathering all the ingredients listed below: coconut flour, baking powder, Swerve, an egg, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and blueberries. Use a microwave-safe mug for this recipe.
First step, combine coconut flour, baking powder, and Swerve in your mug. If your blueberries are very sweet, consider reducing the sweetener. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
Next, crack the egg into the mug. Add vanilla extract and melted coconut oil. Stir these wet ingredients into the dry mixture until you have a smooth batter.
Once your batter is smooth, gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. Adding more fruit will increase the net carbs.
Place your mug in the microwave. Cook on high for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and feels firm. Carefully remove the mug—it will be hot. Let it cool for a moment, then enjoy your gluten-free, dairy-free keto blueberry mug cake!
Remember, microwave powers vary. You might need to adjust the cooking time. Also, while blueberries are low in carbs, they contain some sugar. Keep this in mind when calculating your daily carb intake, especially if you’re strictly following a ketogenic diet.
For an extra touch of elegance, decorate your mug cake with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream, along with a sprinkle of Swerve or a dash of your favorite sugar-free powdered sweetener. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds layers of texture and flavor.

How to Check Your Low Carb Mug Cake
Perform a quick test to determine if your mug cake is done. At the end of your cooking time, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is done. If there’s batter on the toothpick, give your cake another 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave before performing the toothpick test again.
Once the keto cake is done, let it cool for a couple of minutes before digging in. Then, garnish with some fresh blueberries, or any keto-friendly toppings of your choice.

Recipe Modification
You can make a substitute if you prefer an alternative to coconut flour such as almond flour. Keep in mind that you cannot replace these two flours 1:1 since coconut flour is a lot more absorbent. Thus, if you decide to use almond flour, you need to increase the quantity to 3 tablespoons for the same texture.
The Swerve in this low carb blueberry mug cake recipe acts as a sugar substitute that adds sweetness without additional carbs. If you are not fond of Swerve or if it’s not available, you could use alternative keto sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol. Remember always to taste your batter before baking to ensure it’s sweet enough according to your preference as the fruit sweetness varies.
To modify this recipe for personal diet restrictions, first, consider your sensitivities or allergies. For those allergic to coconut, consider using other nut flours and oils. Almond flour and melted butter are great options. Meanwhile, if you’re allergic to eggs, you can try using a flax or chia egg instead.
The vanilla extract enhances the flavor of this mug cake, but you can switch it up based on your flavor preferences. For example, almond extract, orange extract, or even a dash of cinnamon could add a unique spin to this cake.
To respect portion sizes, you could split the finished mug cake into two servings. Alternatively, if you want to increase the portion size, double the recipe. Nonetheless, the mug size should be big enough for the increased quantity and microwave settings may vary. Make a low carb vanilla mug cake by skipping the fruit.
Lastly, if blueberries are not your favorite or are out of season, feel free to switch them with other keto-friendly fruits such as raspberries or strawberries or add sugar free chocolate chips. Just make sure to adjust the quantity based on the fruit’s carb count to keep the cake keto-friendly.
