This low-carb chocolate peanut butter mug cake recipe makes me think I should rename this blog Indulgent Mug Cakes without as Many Carbs. That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue now, does it?

In any case, this chocolate peanut butter cake in a mug is still easy to make. Yes, there are a few more steps than what it takes to make a keto chocolate mug cake, but it's worth it when you're craving a scrumptious microwave dessert.

Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake in Minutes

Chocolate and peanut butter are the soulmates of the dessert world, am I right? The rich and creamy combo is so good in many forms of dessert. So, how can we enjoy the decadent duo while on a low-carb diet?

The easy answer is portion control. No, you do not want to make a whole sheet pan of this cake. You want a peanut butter and chocolate dessert for one, so it's satisfying without leaving you tempted to go back for extra servings.

At 10.8 net carbs, this is another one of the microwave dessert recipes to make when you want a special treat. Skip the topping if you'd like to save 3 net carbs. (See below for more notes on the topping.)

Do I have to add the topping to this chocolate peanut butter mug cake?

No, you do not have to add the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle to the top of this mug cake. However, the peanut butter flavor in the cake is pretty subtle. You will want extra peanut butter flavor, so you can simply drop a blob of peanut butter and some chocolate chips onto the hot mug cake and let it melt on its own. It's not as pretty, but that's fine if you're not taking pictures!

What kind of peanut butter is keto friendly?

You want to look for peanut butter that has one or two ingredients at most. The ingredients should list peanuts and possibly salt. Stay away from peanut butter that contains xylitol because it's deadly to pets and you don't need sweetened peanut butter in this mug cake recipe.

What kind of sour cream is keto friendly?

It's important to choose full fat sour cream for keto recipes. Low-fat or nonfat sour creams are not keto friendly. Double check the nutrition facts before using your sour cream in this mug cake recipe.

Can I make this mug cake into a full cake?

Making this mug cake into a full cake is not tested. This site is all about quick and easy mug cakes for one person. Since portion control is a big part of a keto diet, I like to take the temptation of a full cake out of the equation. Eating several servings of keto desserts can blow your macros and cause digestion issues from all the keto sweetener.
