Mug muffins and mug cakes are some of the most convenient keto-friendly meals. They can be made both sweet and savoury and take just a few minutes to prepare. For those of you that may not have a microwave, I included some tips for baking the muffins in the oven.
No microwave? If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you make 4-8 servings at once. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional) and cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked in the centre.
Tips & Substitutions
If you need to make this recipe nut-free, use more flaxmeal (same amount) or coconut flour (half the amount). When using ingredients, always go by their weight, especially in case of baked goods.
Measures such as cups may vary depending on a product / brand.
