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.

    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!
