Expert Tips For Best Results
- Use Almond Flour Wisely: Almond flour is the star ingredient in many keto recipes, including this one. For optimal results, ensure your almond flour is finely ground and well-sifted to prevent any lumps in your mug cake.
- Mind Your Microwave: Microwaves vary in wattage, so cooking times may differ. Start with the lower end of the suggested cooking time and adjust as needed. The key is to cook the mug cake until it’s set but still slightly moist in the center for the perfect texture.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: While this recipe is delicious as is, feel free to get creative with add-ins to customize your mug cake. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of espresso powder, or a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. Just be mindful of any additional carbs if you’re sticking to a strict keto diet.
