Low carb mug brownie for two – Keto + Vegan

Low carb mug brownie for two, NO microwave needed! An healthy keto fudgy brownie with NO egg. Easy, gooey gluten free chocolate peanut butter treat for Valentines day. 

Low carb mug brownie – keto + vegan (NO eggs!)

Valentines day is just around the corner and as you now I eat low carb sugar free but my partner is vegan, it means he won’t eat eggs or dairy. That is how I came up with this easy low carb recipe, a vegan keto mug brownie. 

It is a very easy recipe requesting only few basic ingredients, but trust me, this is the most fudgy gooey low carb brownie you will eat. All you need to make this delicious keto mug brownie for two are:

• Almond meal or almond flour both works
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Sugar free crystal sweetener – I used Monk fruit golden crystal. You can also use Erythritol if you like or white Monk fruit crystal. All of them have no carbs, 100 % sugar free
• Peanut butter – I am using natural peanut butter made of 100 % peanuts, no added oil, no added salt or sugar. This is very crucial to keep the recipe sugar free.
• Unsweetened almond milk – or any dairy free milk you like, unsweetened coconut milk is a great option too
• Baking powder
• Vanilla extract

No microwave baking

I know, I called this recipe a ‘mug brownie’ and now I tell you you don’t need a microwave, confused? Well, this is a recipe that can be baked in the microwave, usually 90 seconds per mug brownie is enough. I don’t like baking my food in the microwave so I recommend you use 2 small oven-proof ramekins and bake both ramekins at the same time for 12 minutes at 180C (375F) in the oven.

Notes

Microwave option: if you like to cook with your microwave you can simply cook this mug brownie, one at a time, for 90 seconds in your microwave. Note that this won't store very well, you will have to serve the brownie straight away, simply cool down 2-3 minutes to avoid burning yourself but don't bake in your microwave hours before serving. Microwave baking dry brownies and it doesn't store well. 

Peanut butter swap: you can replace peanut butter by sunflower seed butter, tahini or almond butter
