Coconut Flour Chocolate Caramel Mug Cakes are a lavish yet casual treat ~ so decadent, yet easy to throw together and cozy to eat. Having cake out of a mug, and eating it with a spoon, is just so inviting and exciting!
First, lightly grease oven-proof mugs. Fill large casserole dish 1/3 to 1/2 full of water. Place dish in oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine all wet, room-temperature/warm ingredients in large bowl. Combine all dry ingredients in medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Stir to combine; do not over-mix.
Scoop batter equally between mugs. Place mugs into hot water bath in casserole dish (in the oven). Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes. First test for done-ness at 20 minutes, to be sure, with a toothpick (look for moist crumbs adhering).
Make the Caramel Sauce while the cakes bake.
Remove casserole dish from oven. Cool cakes slightly on cooling rack. Top with warm Caramel Sauce! Leave at room temperature until you're ready to serve or eat immediately. (You may also chill if preferred.)
Notes
Keto Caramel Sauce recipe
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup butter, salted (or add 3 pinches sea salt)
3 Tablespoons monk fruit allulose blend or plain granulated allulose (like this)
Instructions
Stir and melt together butter and sweetener in a medium-large saucepan over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. (It can burn, so watch it carefully.)
Add the cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat. Simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and caramel colored. (Do not double this recipe, or the cooking times change significantly.)
Done! Pour onto the cakes while still warm.
