What makes this protein powder mug cake keto? First off, it uses coconut flour instead of regular flour… which is rich in fiber and healthy fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). Coconut can also help promote healthy digestion and assist with weight loss.
In addition, coconut sugar or Lakanto sugar-free sweetener (a popular keto sugar substitute) is used in place of regular sugar. You can also use any keto-approved sweetener of your choice. And finally, egg, unsweetened almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and coconut oil give this mug cake dessert a moist, irresistible texture.
Pro tip: You can swap out the coconut oil in this recipe for MCT Oil; Especially if you’re on the keto diet, this quick-absorbing oil can help you get into ketosis, and provide instant, lasting energy.
