I think you can bake it, but the baking time will be very short. I don’t know exact times, or if it will have the same texture or not. I haven’t tried it yet.

Glad to hear it! In my house, the mug cake never lasts – but that’s good to know 😀

In reply to garcia61711. As long as it's keto - feel free to post it!

In reply to craig@ruled.me. I experimented and found a combination that worker perfect! I even stayed in ketosis after tasting! It came out exactly like what I had in mind. I ended up leaving out cocoa because of caffeine, so it was pretty much completely different, but basic ingredients were there. If anyone is interested I can post. Very moist.

Sounds good – I hope it came out okay for your 1 year old!

It could but you may need to add a little more liquid. Coconut flour will absorb much more than almond flour. Maple syrup will put the carb counts up too far for keto, so it probably wouldn’t be best. Same with the banana (but not for MOST sugar alcohols). This is a little fluffy, but certainly won’t be super fluffy – no keto baked good is, really.

Hope that helps!

Can this be made with only coconut flour? I’m
making a smash cake for my almost 1 year old and don’t want to use traditional flour or refined sugar or sugar alcohols. Will the flavor change much if I sub 100% real maple syrup or banana for the sugar alcohol? any suggestions? Also, is this fluffy, or dense? Hopefully it won’t knock me out of keto if I taste it!

Hey (sorry for the late reply). You could try cooking it slightly longer at a lower power level. Generally you want the top to be pretty sheen with moistness when you take it out.

You could just leave it out – would be very easy to do 🙂

Can you substitute (or just leave out) the instant coffee crystals? That’s one thing we never buy and I’m not sure I could justify buying them just for this. LOL Well, maybe… 😉 Nah.
