Keto Mug Brownie (Nightcap)

Single-serving almond-flour mug brownie with cacao nibs and macadamias — the standard nightcap. 4.2g net carbs, 13g protein, 49g fat, 508 calories for the full batch.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp (21g) almond flour
• 1 tbsp (3g) cocoa powder
• 1 large egg
• ¾ tbsp (10.5g) salted butter
• ¾ tbsp (10.5g) coconut oil
• 1 tbsp (15g) coconut milk
• 2 tbsp (24g) monkfruit sweetener
• 1 tsp (3g) cacao nibs
• 6 macadamias (15g)
• Pinch each: vanilla, salt, Espelette pepper

Instructions

1. Melt the butter and coconut oil together in the mug. Microwave for 25 seconds.
2. Let the fat cool a few seconds, then whisk in the egg and coconut milk with a fork until uniform.
3. Stir in the almond flour, cocoa powder, monkfruit, vanilla, salt, and Espelette until there are no dry pockets. Batter should be thick but stirrable.
4. Fold in the cacao nibs and macadamias.
5. Microwave for 70 seconds. Done when the edges are set and the center is just barely underdone; it firms as it sits. If the center is still wet batter, give it 10 more seconds. Overcooking is the main failure mode.
