This delicious keto peanut butter mug cake is the perfect treat for peanut butter lovers. It is super soft and fluffy with a strong peanut butter flavour, which is combined with the crunchy peanut texture. This quick and easy recipe takes only 2 minutes in the microwave. I love making mug cakes because they satisfy my sweet cravings without spending too much time, and this peanut butter mug cake is one of my favourites.

Type Of Peanut Butter To Use In Making This Mug Cake:
I recommend using natural crunchy peanut butter with no added oil or sugar.
Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly?
Yes, natural peanut butter with only one ingredient ( peanuts) with no sugar or oil added is keto-friendly. One tablespoon of natural contains about 2.5 gram net carbs.
Ingredients For Making This Low Carb Mug Cake:
- Almond flour
- Crunchy peanut butter
- Baking powder
- Butter
- Egg
- Powdered erythritol
- Unsweetened dark chocolate chips
- Shredded coconut
How To Make The Keto Peanut Butter Mug Cake:
- Crack the egg on the mug, then whisk it using a fork or whisker.
- Add the peanut butter and the melted butter then whisk.
- After that, add the almond flour, powdered erythritol and baking powder and keep whisking.
- Then, add the chocolate shapes and shredded coconut, stir.
- You can add some chocolate chips and shredded coconut on the top too if you want.
- After that, microwave the mug cake for 2 minutes.
- Then, serve.
My advice for you is to use a big mug for making this cake because this cake tends to rise quite high while cooking.
Topping Ideas For This Keto Mug Cake:
I chose to top it with some shredded coconut and some chocolate chips. You can change the toppings to whatever ones you fancy. Also, you can serve it with whipped cream, or you can sprinkle some powdered erythritol on the top of it or even some peanut butter sauce for a stronger peanut flavour.
