– Hey, guys.
Today on Low Carb with Jennifer,
I am going to show you how to
make these two keto mug cakes,
chocolate and peanut butter.
(soft upbeat music)
Hey, friends.
Today we’re going to make
these keto mug cakes.
They’re super easy, of course,
and like all of my recipes,
we make them in the microwave.
The first one I’m going to
start with is peanut butter.
So I’ve got a ramekin here
with a tablespoon of melted butter
and I’m just swirling it around
the outside of the ramekin.
And so now we can put
in our dry ingredients,
which is almond flour,
some baking powder,
and sweetener.
So this recipe is based off
of my keto chocolate mug cake,
the chocolate version.
Well, or the vanilla version,
and so for the peanut butter,
we’re just going to add in a
tablespoon of peanut butter.
So we mix all the dry, and
now we can add in a beaten egg
and some vanilla.
Oh!
Now, I must say that this is probably
the best keto mug cake there is.
I might just be saying
that because it’s mine,
but everybody tells me that
this is the best one they’ve ever made,
and they’ve made several,
so you really should
check out this recipe.
We’re going to mix all of our
wet and dry ingredients together
in our ramekin.
Okay, now for the peanut butter,
we’ve got a tablespoon of peanut butter
and I’m just going to
drop it in the center,
and just kind of swirl it
around a little bit, if you can.
It’s kind of, just mush
it up a little bit.
You want to leave it kind of pretty whole,
so it’s nice and peanut buttery in there.
If you don’t want to use peanut butter,
you could use powdered peanut butter,
because I know that peanut
butter has a lot of calories.
One tablespoon is like, I
don’t know, 120 calories.
The mug cake’s already
pretty calorie-dense,
so this is going to be a very hefty snack,
or you could split it with somebody.
But this is going to go into
the microwave for one minute.
Okay, before I show you
the peanut butter one,
let’s make the chocolate.
So we’ve got the ramekin again,
so let’s mix up the dry ingredients.
Almond flour,
sweetener,
baking powder,
and this one uses cocoa powder,
so we’re going to add that
in with the dry ingredients.
Stir that up a little bit.
Now we can add in our beaten egg.
The vanilla.
All right, and now I’m going to
put some chocolate chips on top,
and this is ready for the microwave.
60 seconds.
Okay, here are our two mug
cakes out of the microwave.
They look amazing.
On the peanut butter one,
I’m going to put a little
bit of ChocZero syrup.
Chocolate syrup.
So let’s dig into this one
and see how amazing it looks.
Looks really, oh, looks
so good and fluffy.
Look at that.
Let’s try it.
Mmm!
Mmm-hmm!
That’s really good peanut butter flavor.
Okay, the chocolate one.
Woo, that’s hot. (giggles)
I’m going to pour a little
bit of heavy cream on it.
You could whip the heavy cream,
but I’m too lazy to do that.
Just a tablespoon.
So let’s dig into the center of it,
and I know this one is good.
Look at that.
With the heavy cream.
Mmm!
So good.
Guys, make sure you check out
these other keto desert recipes,
and I will see you guys later
Bye!
