All you need is raw peanut butter (sugar-free), an egg, and your favorite sugar substitute. I like to use a stevia/erythritol mix. To get the complete recipe, click HERE.

    This is for all the berry lovers out there. Not only is this mug cake dairy-free and keto, but it’s also super easy to make. Each bite is filled with luscious berries of your choosing. Personally, I like to add raspberries and blueberries to this recipe. Any type of berries will do, though. I’ve even heard of some folks using cranberries.

    The recipe says you can add heavy whipping cream as a topping but since we are keeping it dairy-free, try using some coconut cream, instead. Learn more about this recipe HERE.

      Mug cakes are great! Single-serve to kill a craving without extra cake sitting around to tempt you. I hope these all come out great for you!

      Hi Heather -

      Thank you for this collection! I love eating keto, but it tends to be very dairy-heavy.

      Dairy hates me. It abuses my affections.

      Finding recipes with keto macros without dairy is a real find!

      Would you mind providing a link to the cinnamon-walnut mug cake, please? The links leads to the keto berry mug cake, which is pictured above the cinnamon walnut mug cake. I would love to try the cinnamon walnut version, but can't find the page.

      Thank you for such a great post!
