    Low Carb Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. The last low carb mug cake recipe you will ever need.Low Carb Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

    Low Carb Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

     

    One of the things I never really liked about low carb mug cakes was their wet, almost spongy texture. While they curbed the chocolate craving, they never quite felt like cake. WELL, here is a recipe that will change that. This flourless chocolate peanut butter cake is moist and dense and best of all it is ready in just under 2 minutes.

     

     

    Check out some of my other favorite chocolate and peanut butter combinations:

    • Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto No Bake Cookies
    • Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies
    • Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
    • Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Blondies

      Pardon my French, but holy hell, Kyndra! This was out of this world! My husband and I kept looking at each other like we couldn't believe what we were eating. Thanks for all you do to make this lifestyle completely amazing. I'm seriously grateful for all your hard work. You're a keto culinary artist!

      you NAILED IT! This is by far the best low carb dessert that I have made since going Keto! Best flavor without bitter artificial sweetener taste, Best texture (moist not spongy)! I hope the JIF doesnt toss me out of ketosis though! Thank you for another great recipe!

      I just made this and it was amazing! I used almond butter and almond milk which is what I had on hand and it tasted so good! Will be making again!

      Really, really good. I added whipping cream (with a dash of Swerve) on top of the P.B. drizzle...mostly to ensure no dryness. Not a problem the cake was moist and sweet for my changed pallet. As a personal preference I will drop the drizzle and have the whipping cream next time...and maybe a berry or two. Thank you so much - awesome recipe!!!

      This was so good!!! I've never ever commented on a recipe before,but this is so delicious that I had to!!!!!!! Just right to satisfy my sweet tooth, without having to worry about carb counts! I used stevia for this recipe and it turned out great. Love the chocolate peanut butter combo

      THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

      Oh wow! This looks incredible. Been Keto for two months, and I can’t wait to try this. Question... Can I substitute the heavy cream for anything non-dairy like coconut milk or almond milk?

      Made this umpteen times and it's the best quickie cake by far! Love the fact it's flourless, fast and dead easy. I never use the PB at the end as I find that quite cloying, I just whack some cream or mascarpone on. I definately can never manage this cake single-handedly, too filling for me, so I half it or even cut into 1/3rds so it can be shared out, then everyone gets a choc fix! Love it. 10/10 from me!!

      I never write comments but oh my god this was good!!! I had very low expectations especially that I've tried a few receipes and they weren't literally a waste of ingredients in my opinion!! But this actually tastes good!!!
      It can't be good to eat consistently hahha
