HEALTHY KETO PECAN PIE MUG CAKE
Ingredients
Mug Cake Base:
1 egg
1 tbsp (15ml) unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter
½ tsp (gluten-free) baking powder
2 tbsp (0.5oz/16g) finely ground coconut flour
2 tbsp (0.5oz/16g) finely ground almond flour
2 tbsp (1oz/28g) pure brown erythritol or 1.5 tbsp (20g) Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener or 1:1 brown erythritol blend)
½ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
Pecan Pie Topping (amounts for 1 standard mug - double if you use 2 ramekins):
1 oz (30g) pecans, roughly chopped
1 tbsp (0.5oz/14g) pure brown erythritol or 2 tsp (0.35oz/10g) Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener or 1:1 brown erythritol blend)
2 tbsp (1oz/28g) butter
½ tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
Instructions for this Keto Pecan Pie Mug Cake:
1 Add all of the ingredients for the mug cake base into a middle-sized bowl.
Whisk until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.
2 Grease your microwave-safe mug or ramekin with cooking oil that doesn't have a strong taste (I like to use coconut oil, butter or avocado oil).
3 Add your cake batter into your mug or ramekin (the mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients).
Instructions: Microwave
4 Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what microwave and what settings you're using.
A broad rule of thumb: Approx. 1 Minute at 1200 Watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 Watt.
If you don't know the Wattage power of your microwave I'd recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed.
This will avoid that the mug cake dries out.
You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick - if it comes out "clean" it's ready!
Instructions: Oven
5 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
Follow the same steps as above.
Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Keto Pecan Pie Topping:
6 Roughly chop your pecan halves.
7 Add all of the ingredients for the keto pecan pie topping into a small non-sticking pot and melt the butter on low to medium heat.
Stir while the butter is melting and make sure that everything is thoroughly mixed.
8 Once your mug cake has finished baking, add the pecan pie topping on top of it.
☞ The amounts given on the recipe card are enough for a mug cake baked in a standard mug (approx. 300ml).
I personally prefer using two ramekins with a diameter of 9cm/3.5" most of the time - if you also use ramekins, you have to double the amounts given for the pecan pie topping on the recipe card so it's enough for both ramekins.
9 I prefer to eat this keto pecan pie mug cake while it's still warm - it's so comforting!
But it tastes just as good if it's cold!
10 Cover with plastic wrap and store for up to 3 days in your fridge.
