Keto Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake (5-Minute Low Carb Recipe)
Make this quick & easy keto cinnamon roll mug cake in under 5 minutes! Low carb, microwave-ready, and completely keto-friendly — the perfect single-serve dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 3 tbsp almond flour (fine-ground for best texture)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp monk fruit sweetener (or stevia, to taste)
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 1 tbsp water (or heavy cream for extra richness)
- Pinch of cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the batter: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together oil, almond flour, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and monk fruit until smooth. The mixture should look like slightly thick pancake batter.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds. Cooking time may vary by microwave wattage, so check for doneness — the cake should spring back lightly when touched.
- Release and plate: Run a butter knife gently around the edges, then invert the mug onto a plate. The cake should slide out easily.
- Make the glaze: Using the same mug (no need to clean it), add cream cheese and water. Microwave for 20–25 seconds until soft, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle and enjoy: Pour the glaze over your warm cinnamon roll cake and sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon. Serve immediately for that gooey, just-baked magic.
