I am very serious when it comes to mug cakes since they are the easiest keto dessert you can make. You’ll love my Keto Brownies Mug Cake or my Lemon Poppy Seed Mug Cake.

I love to serve this low carb mug cake warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with more cinnamon or ground nutmeg. Well, that’s I call a comforting dessert!

    1. I never used pecan flour in my recipe, but I guess you should use the same quantity as almond flour. Let me know how it turns out.
