Recipe Story

I have always been a fan of Oreo cookies, especially the ones with chocolate filling. But when I started following a keto diet, I had to give them up.

I missed them so much that I decided to look for a keto-friendly version online. However, most of the recipes I found were either too complicated, too dry, or too bland. 

I wanted something easy recipe that is quick and tasty. So, I experimented with different chocolate keto mug cake recipes, ingredients and ratios until I came up with this amazing recipe.

It’s crumbly and moist at the same time, and the coconut oil instead of butter adds a lot to the Oreo low carb mug cake flavor and texture. It’s like having a mini Oreo cake in a mug.

I love making this mug cake whenever I need a sweet treat or a dessert. It’s so good that I sometimes make two and eat them both. Don’t judge me, it’s keto!

Unlike the keto chocolate mug cake that has a moist and smooth texture, this keto Oreo mug cake mimics the classic Oreo with its crumbly cake layer and creamy filling.

Instructions

Making this keto Oreo mug cake recipe is super easy and fast. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: In a small microwave-safe bowl or microwave-safe mug, melt the butter for the mug cake. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk well.

Step 2: Add the dry ingredients: coconut flour, Swerve, cocoa powder, and salt and mix well until you have a smooth batter.

Step 3: Microwave for 90 seconds or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cook time will depend on the power of your microwave.

Step 4: Let the mug cake cool slightly and then cut it into four round slices.

Step 5: In another small microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil for the filling. Add the almond milk, powdered Swerve, and salt and whisk well. You can use a food processor if you prefer.

Step 6: Take two slices of the mug cake and spread half of the filling on one slice. Place the other slice on top and press gently to make a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices and filling. If the filling is too runny, leave it in the fridge for a couple of minutes. Do not leave it too long as it will be too hard to spread. If this happens, microwave for 10 seconds.

Step 7: Enjoy your keto Oreo mug cake with a glass of almond milk or some whipped cream. You can also store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

A: A mug cake is a single-serving cake that is cooked in a microwave in a mug. It’s a quick and easy way to make a cake without using an oven or a lot of dishes.

Q: Why is my keto filling too liquidy and how can I fix it? 

A: The keto filling may be too liquid because of the butter or the almond milk. You can fix it by cooling it in the fridge for a couple of minutes.

Q: Is coconut oil a must-have in this recipe?

A: Absolutely! Coconut oil isn’t just a flavor enhancer; it’s the keto magician binding all the elements in a creamy embrace. Its richness in MCTs and lauric acid elevates both taste and nutritional value.
