Keto Lemon Mug Cake
If you aren’t familiar with mug cakes, they are delicious little no-fuss low-carb (2 net carb per cake) cakes that can be made in tiny batches. I used ramekins here, but you could easily use a coffee mug to cook them in… hence the name :) As I’ve talked about previously, we don’t use erythritol in our kitchen, so the challenge for us was to come up with a cake that we could sweeten using stevia without having it taste weird. Enter lemon cake! Lemon goes well with both coconut and stevia, allowing us to make this with coconut flour and sweeten it with stevia.
If you’d like to make a small batch of cupcakes, this recipe will fit into 6 cupcake liners. After they have cooled, pop them in the freezer and your GAPS kiddo (or yourself) can bring them along to classroom celebrations and birthday parties without feeling left out.
