Ingredients Needed to Make a Keto Chocolate Chip Mug Cake
Ingredient quantities are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Butter
- Heavy whipping cream
- Vanilla extract
- Egg
- Coconut flour
- Swerve Confectioners
- Baking powder – if you want a more cookie-like texture, omit this (it will make the resulting dessert less “fluffy”)
- Sugar-free chocolate chips
How to Make a Keto Mug Cake with Chocolate Chips {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of how to make this low carb mug cake. For the recipe in detail, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Melt butter in a microwave-safe mug or ramekin. Then add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until the egg is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients except chocolate chips.
TIPS:
- For a more cookie-like texture, omit the baking powder. Omitting it will make the resulting dessert less “fluffy.”
- For a slightly different flavor, you can use a combination of Swerve Confectioners and Swerve Brown. Use the same total amount (1 tbsp), but experiment with different combos, like 2 tsp Swerve Confectioners + 1 tsp Swerve Brown.
Then, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Because of the coconut flour, the mixture will be quite thick.
Gently fold in chocolate chips.
TIP: For a fun presentation, make sure you sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top and don’t forget your Keto Coffee!
Microwave per the directions in the recipe card (located at the end of this post).

Toppings for a Keto Chocolate Chip Mug Cake
I like to top my Keto Chocolate Chip Mug Cake with:
- Butter
- ChocZero Maple Vanilla Syrup (ChocZero also makes plain maple syrup, but I think their maple vanilla flavor is even better!)
You can also top your mug cake with:
- Swerve Confectioners
- Keto glaze icing from this recipe
- ChocZero Chocolate Syrup
- ChocZero Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (even better if it’s slightly melted)
Of course, you can also eat your mug cake plain – it tastes great as-is!
