A great way to celebrate a birthday mug cake would be with this Keto Butter Coffee
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 large raw egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon monk fruit erythritol blend
- ½ tbp rainbow sprinkles (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoon monk fruit erythritol blend
- ½ teaspoon almond milk, plain or original, unsweetened
Instructions
- If you want to keep the mug looking as clean as possible, prep the batter in a small bowl and transfer it to a cup later on. If that doesn’t matter to you, go ahead and mix the ingredients directly into a 12 oz coffee mug. Melt the butter in the microwave for 25-30 seconds.
- Add in the almond flour, egg, baking powder, extract, and monk fruit blend and mix well. Then add in ½ of the sprinkles and fold them in.
- If using a bowl to mix, pour the batter into the coffee mug. Top the batter with the remaining sprinkles. You do not need to grease the coffee mug as the batter has enough fat.
- Heat the cake in the microwave on high for 1 min 28 seconds or until cooked through. All microwaves behave a little differently, so you will need to adjust the time by adding more time if necessary.
- In a small bowl, combine the frosting ingredients, which is 2 tbsp of the powdered monk fruit blend and the almond milk. Mix to combine. It should be a thicker icing. By this point, the cake should have cooled slightly. Now, run a knife around the outside edges of the cake. Turn the cake upside down and frost with the icing. Add additional sprinkles on top as desired. Enjoy!
