Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have chocolate on a Keto diet?

Yes! Be sure you are using dark chocolate that is 70% or more cocoa solids. You will want to check the label for added sugar for each type of chocolate you try. They aren't all the same.

One of my favorite way to eating chocolate on a Keto diet is to make my own dessert. This gives me control over the quality of cocoa powder I'm using and the type of sugar I use. It also means I can make my dessert without soy, which I've found included in a lot of the chocolate bars.

Can I replace cocoa powder with baking chocolate in recipes?

No. They are not a one-to-one replacement option for recipes. Cocoa powder is made with little to no cocoa butter in it. While baking chocolate has both cocoa solids and cocoa butter.

If you need to make a substitution to use ingredients you have on hand you can use one ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate for 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. For this recipe I would omit the extra coconut oil if you decide to use baking chocolate. You will want to melt the baking chocolate before mixing it into the cake batter in your mug.

Description

This easy low carb gluten free chocolate mug cake recipe is made in the microwave. It uses almond flour and cocoa powder to make a rich chocolate dessert that's perfect for a Keto diet.

Ingredients

Scale

4 Tbsp. Almond Flour
2 Tbsp. Chocolate Protein Powder
1 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder
1 tsp. Low Carb Sweetener
¼ tsp. Baking Powder
¼ tsp. Baking Soda
⅛ tsp. Sea Salt
3 Tbsp. Almond Milk
1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 large Egg

Instructions

In a coffee cup mix the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, Pyure sweetener, baking powder, baking soda and salt together until all the dry ingredients are combined.

Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and egg to the dry ingredients and mix together until you get a cake batter consistency.

Microwave for 60 seconds watching to make sure the cake doesn't overflow your mug. Then microwave for another 30 seconds to finish cooking your cake. 

Be careful removing the mug cake from the microwave as the handle of the mug might be hot!

The cake will rise to the top of the mug and then slowly deflate back down after you take it out of the microwave. 

I let the cake cool slightly and then serve as is or with a dollop of plain greek yogurt or some coarse sea salt on top.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 minute 30 seconds
  • Category: Cake, Dessert
  • Method: Microwave

Top Tip

Please keep in mind that every microwave seems to be different. I cook my mug cakes in 30 second increments so that it doesn't boil over the coffee cup or burn. The cake will rise to the edge of the coffee cup like a regular cake rises in the pan and then sink back down as it cools.

My Favorite Gluten Free Air Fryer Recipes

The air fryer has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances! Here is a list of some of my favorite gluten free air fryer recipes. They are all easy to make with some healthy options for dinner and low carb or keto thrown in. If you've been on the fence about getting an air fryer I highly recommend them!

My favorite air fryer is this Instant Vortex 6 qt 4-in-1 Air Fryer. It's easy to use and is just two pieces to clean when I'm done. I like an air fryer with one large basket so I can do larger recipes. I think an air fryer with two baskets would be great for single servings though.

Choosing Your Air Fryer

When I first got my air fryer a couple of years ago the options were pretty limited, but now there are a lot of versions on the market. I highly suggest getting a five quart or larger model.

It's so nice to be able to fit a 32 ounce bag of frozen broccoli or tater tots in and cook them in one batch. I've also found the larger size gives enough room to fit a turkey breast, small roast or two steaks. Plus, the price difference isn't very much for the large sizes making them totally worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are jalapeño poppers keto friendly?

Yes! They are a high protein and high fat snack that is perfect for a keto or low carb diet. Gluten free jalapeño poppers make a great snack to make ahead and have in the fridge. They are also great to bring to a gathering or party.

What type of cheese do I put in gluten free jalapeño poppers?

I prefer to use shredded cheddar cheese. It's even better if it's sharp cheddar cheese, but you could use another type of cheese if you want a milder flavor. Really any cheese with a similar texture to cheddar cheese will work. It's important that it will melted easily and blend well with the other ingredients.

  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: Gluten Free

Storage

If you have leftover poppers or want to make a batch to have in the refrigerator for snacks they will last for up to five days in the fridge in a sealed container. I don't suggest freezing them because the cooked jalapeño peppers become too mushy.

Top Tip

If you don't have bacon you could omit it, but I highly suggest adding it in. The bacon gives the gluten free jalapeño poppers a nice smoky flavor. I like to cook the bacon the day before and save six pieces for this recipe. The bacon is easy to chop up cold from the refrigerator.
