Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

Follow

I made this low carb chocolate peanut butter mug cake for lunch the other day, and it was delicious! Don’t judge, hah! I usually have a salad, or stir fry veggies, but some days a girl just needs chocolate… and peanut butter! This is really a dessert for 2 (at least). It’s super rich, chocolaty and delicious, you won’t even notice it’s low carb and keto friendly! The peanut butter cream cheese frosting really sets it off and makes this a truly decadent low carb keto dessert. It’s also grain free, and gluten free! Bonus!

Author: Linette Gerlach

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 2-3 servings

Ingredients

• 2 Scoops Chocolate Protein Powder (I used Sports Research Collagen Peptides, the link is below this recipe card to check it out on Amazon)
• 2 Tablespoons PB2 Peanut Butter Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour
• 2 teaspoons Sverve (or another low carb sweetener like stevia)
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup coconut creamer (I use So Delicious), you could also use heavy whipping cream
• Frosting:
• 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter (no salt added)
• 2 Tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons Sverve

Instructions

1. In a large mug or a soup bowl, mix together the protein powder, peanut butter powder, coconut powder, Sverve, baking soda, cream of tartar, egg and coconut creamer.
2. Microwave for 2 minutes, and let cool for a couple minutes.
3. While the cake is cooling, mix together the frosting. If the cream cheese isn't room temperature, microwave it for just a couple seconds to make it easier to combine.
4. Spread the frosting on the cake. It's not the easiest to spread, BUT it tastes amazing, so I don't worry about it looking beautiful too much.
5. Enjoy while it's still a little warm!

Like I said in the recipe card, this low carb chocolate peanut butter mug cake is best when you serve it a little warm! And remember this isn’t white flour so it does have just a hint of a grainier texture that’s more noticeable after it’s cooled, but it’s still delicious!
