How to Make Keto Blueberry Mug Cake?
Learn how to make this sugar-free keto blueberry mug cake that’s effortless to whip up once you gather all the ingredients. It’s fantastic that this gluten-free blueberry mug cake has no eggy taste. It’s super fluffy and perfect for any meal of the day!
- Start by adding all the ingredients: whisk the egg, sweetener, coconut flour, heavy cream, baking powder, lemon extract, and lemon zest into a microwave-safe mug. Make sure to combine all the ingredients until you get a smooth batter.
- Fold in the juicy blueberries.
- Transfer your keto blueberry mug cake to the microwave and cook on high (800W) for about 90 seconds.
- Once the mug cake is ready, let it rest for a few minutes. Enjoy!
Please note that microwaves vary in power, so you’ll need to experiment with cooking time to get the texture of this mug cake right. I recommend you start checking the mug cake from the first minute and then continue cooking just until completely done. It shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes to be ready.
TIP: Don’t overcook! It will be super dry rather than moist and delicious.
Can I substitute coconut flour with almond flour?
Yes! I prefer to use coconut flour because it’s cheaper than almond flour and so many of you requested recipes for almond allergies. But if you don’t have any food allergies, you can make a keto blueberry mug cake with almond flour without problems. Make sure to use the right amount of almond flour because these two gluten-free flours are different.
Usually, you’ll need more almond flour than coconut flour, and the general rule for conversions: for 1/4 cup of coconut flour, use 1 cup of almond flour. In this recipe, you’ll need about 5-6 tablespoons of almond flour instead of coconut flour.

What wattage is your microwave? I am new to keto and tried this but mine never made it to cake consistency. I don’t have a strong wattage oven, any suggestions?
Honestly, I’m not sure but I think it’s 800 or 1000W. Hope this helps!
