Be careful not to overcook this mug cake, 45 seconds is plenty of time.Is browning the butter an essential step?Browning the butter takes this Keto cookie recipe to another level by adding a nutty and caramelized flavor. This step is not essential, but it is absolutely recommended. The milk particles in the butter caramelize and release a deep and rich flavor. You can only achieve this flavor with butter, thus why you can’t swap this ingredient for ghee, coconut oil, or cocoa butter.Can you adapt this recipe to a nut-free diet?Absolutely! The only nut in this Keto recipe is the almond flour. Swap the nut flour for sunflower seed flour or hemp flour.How can you customize this Keto mug cookie?This recipe is super versatile and can be customized to your liking. Try adding walnuts, macadamia, or Keto marshmallows. You can also replace the chocolate chips with milk or white chocolate chunks.
