Ingredients

Servings1

3 tablespoons ripe avocado, mashed until smooth
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional
1 tablespoon sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy and free of lumps.
Add almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt; mix until combined.
Crack the egg into the mixture and add vanilla extract. Stir well to form a smooth, thick batter.
Optionally fold in dark chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top for extra melty bites.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or oven-safe ramekin with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour batter into prepared mug and smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the mug carefully into the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 7-8 minutes until the top is set and edges are slightly crisp, while the center remains moist and gooey.
Using oven mitts, carefully remove the mug from the air fryer and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Optionally top with sugar-free whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder and enjoy.

Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the s ripe avocado dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.
