Wondering how to make a keto cinnamon mug cake? stay with me I gonna tell you everything about this easy low carb recipe.
First, gather all your ingredients on the bench top. A tall mug – 6 cm high – is ideal to avoid batter to overflow in the microwave. The ingredients you need are very simple low carb ingredients that I am sure you have at home:
I am sure you wonder if it is good for people with diabetes or on low carb diet to eat cinnamon. Yes, absolutely. I would even say eat your cinnamon daily to keep your blood sugar level steady and avoid energy crash. Cinnamon is good for people with diabetes or on a keto diet as it helps lower the blood sugar level. Another good news is, you don’t have to eat lots of cinnamon to get the positive effects. Studies shows that our blood sugar level gets lower between 1 gram and 6 grams of cinnamon a day. It means this cinnamon muffin in a mug is all good for you and you shouldn’t wait longer to try it !
Yes! this low carb mug cake is made with almond flour. Almond flour is one of my favorite keto flour. I listed the top reason below, per serve (1/4 cup) almond flour contains:
This cinnamon mug cake has no milk which means it is suitable for people on a paleo diet. The cinnamon glazing, that makes this keto cinnamon cake taste like a low carb cinnamon roll, use dairy-free ingredients.
This cinnamon mug cake won’t be complete without its cinnamon glazing. This is the cherry on the cake! It adds moisture, delicate sweetness to your mug cake and you will feel like eating a low carb cinnamon roll. The secret to a dairy-free white glazing is to use coconut cream – or pure dairy-free coconut yogurt made of 2 ingredients, coconut cream and probiotic. The cinnamon drizzle is a simple combo of peanut butter, cinnamon, coconut oil and sweetener. Fix your sweet tooth now , try this mug cake recipe you won’t regret it.
I am sure some of you don’t have a microwave, or for some reason don’t like to bake in the microwave. I have got you covered. Simply place this muffin batter into an oven proof ramekin or muffin tray. Baking time range is 12-15 minutes, temperature 180C (350F) . A great test to check the baking is to insert a pick in the center of the muffin. A clean pick means it is cooked.
We are busy people right? Good news, you can prepare the mug cake batter the previous day. Store the batter in the fridge into your mug. Cover the mug with silicon lid or plastic film wrap to avoid air to enter. The next day, microwave 90 seconds on high. Your mug cake will come out as great as a fresh bakery muffin. I don’t recommend baking the mug cake ahead as food baked in the microwaved harden very fast. It is better to eat a mug cake within 1 hour.
Enjoy the simple cinnamon keto mug cake and don’t forget to share a picture of your creation with me on Instagram.

why cant I print a simple recipecard?
There is definitely print options on all my recipe. First one is on top of page after the recipe title, there is a ‘print recipe link’. Second is in the recipe card next to rating, another ‘print recipe link’ on your right. Can you tell me which device you are using that I can check if there is any technical bug but from my laptop I see the print link and they work well. XOXO Carine.

This made my entire morning! I don’t have a lot of energy to make extravagant things on keto due to chronic illness but this is so perfect. I skipped the drizzle and added whipped topping, but the mug cake itself is absolutely perfect in taste and texture. I paired it with a cinnamon coffee and am in absolute heaven.

I don’t see any mention of coconut yogurt in the in ingredients! Did I miss something. I would prefer not to add this. Does this add many carbs?? Thank you!!
Coconut yogurt is only used as a topping and it is optional. Coconut yogurt contains zero carbs, zero sugar it is made of coconut cream and probiotic. It will had fat to your mug cake which is actually great if you are on keto low carb diet! Enjoy the treat. XOXO Carine.
so what are the other nutritional items. protein fat total carbs not net
It appears at the bottom of the recipe card after the instructions and video. Enjoy the mug cake! XOXO Carine
Can you use coconut flour? I have an allergy to almonds. Thanks!
You probably could but you will need less, probably 1/4 of the amount of almond flour I used as coconut flour is 4 times more liquid absorbent. Enjoy the recipe! XOXO Carine.
