Why a Keto Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake?
I made this Keto Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake from Kevingoesketo.com and was pleasantly surprised! AANNND it was the first time EVER that I had all the ingredients on hand! You probably will too!

The 19 carbs include real sugar! You don't have to switch out a sweetener to lessen the carbs, although you could, but there is enough fat and protein here to sandwich these few carbs. Remember, fat and protein act as blood sugar stabilizers!
Recipe Modifications
I changed one thing from the original recipe: I left out half of the egg white because it was slightly eggy to me with a whole egg. Other than that, the flavors are on point!
I really enjoyed the glaze! If you can spare the extra carbs, make one-and-a-half or two times the glaze.
Keto
Swap the sugar for an alternative and use grass-fed butter.
Nutrition Highlights
- The fat comes mostly from the almond flour, cream cheese and heavy cream.
- A considerable amount of Vitamin A here!
- Pregnant women often lack sufficient Vitamin A!
- It's attributed to aiding growth and organ development during pregnancy (lungs, kidneys, eyes, heart, etc.)!

Keto Cinnamon Roll Mug Cake
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 t Sugar (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 t Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 Egg Yolk and ½ Egg White
- 2 tablespoon Almond Flour (Finely Ground & Blanched)
- ½ t Cinnamon
- ½ t Baking Powder
- 1 t Sugar (or preferred sweetener)
- 1½ tablespoon Cream Cheese
- 1½ tablespoon Heavy Cream (or Half/Half or Milk)
- 1 t Sugar (or preferred sweetener
- Melt all ingredients together and stir. Set aside.
- Melt the butter, then add the egg and mix.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix.
- Add half of the glaze to the roll mixture and stir to swirl it in. The mix should not pass the halfway mark of the mug or it will overflow.
- Microwave 40-90 seconds depending on your microwave. It'll rise quickly, and it may look like it's going to overflow. Once you see it not rising anymore, let it go for 3 more seconds, then stop.
- Microwave the ingredients for 15 seconds or so and stir. Don't wait for the icing to completely melt, because it'll overcook. Take it out and stir to see if it's the right consistency.
- Pour the remaining glaze and icing on top.

This was pretty bad. It tasted like cinnamon spongy cardboard.

Hi there. I'm sorry you didn't like it. Did you try just the cake, or with the glaze and icing as well? I ask because all the Instagram reviews were positive. I'm wondering if anything was different.
