Ingredients:

For the Cake:

– 1/4 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup coconut flour
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 egg
– 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
– 1 tablespoon melted butter
– 1 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

– 1 tablespoon butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon sugar-free sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Mug: Grease a microwave-safe mug with butter.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, melted butter, and sweetener. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar-free sweetener. Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon mixture over the cake batter in the mug.
  4. Microwave: Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute and 15-30 seconds, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes.
  5. Frost with Glaze (Optional): For an extra decadent touch, you can make a simple glaze by whisking together 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of sugar-free sweetener, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled cinnamon roll mug cake.
  6. Additional Tips:

    – For a more intense cinnamon flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the cake batter.
    – If you don’t have coconut flour on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of almond flour.
    – To make the mug cake gluten-free, use certified gluten-free almond flour and coconut flour.
    – You can also add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips to the cinnamon swirl for extra crunch.
    – If you don’t have a microwave, you can bake the mug cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
