I’m a huge fan of lava cakes and this white chocolate matcha lava cake is no exception. With just a minute in the microwave this is an easy keto dessert recipe you won’t want to miss!

Green tea is well known for its myriad health benefits. Matcha is a type of green tea that is particularly high in antioxidants called catechins, and mind-calming amino acid called L-theanine. Green tea is beneficial for heart health, metabolic health and has shown to lower insulin levels in menopausal women. Thanks to the high content of catechins, it is beneficial for people suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

This recipe makes one single-serve cake if you feel like having a sugar-free treat for breakfast. Half of the cake will be enough for a tasty keto dessert to finish a dinner party.

And if you're not a fan of matcha, prefer dark chocolate or if you are nut-free, try this Keto Chocolate Lava Cake.
