Low Carb Mug Cookie 

Keto chocolate mug cake with chocolate chips is a fabulous alternative to making an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies. This low carb chocolate chip mug cake recipe by Tastaholics will satisfy your cookie cravings.

While many chocolate mug cake keto recipes are microwaved, this one is a baked dessert. What I love about that is it actually resembles a keto chocolate chip cookie in a cup.

If you’re following a keto diet and are confused over all of the chocolate chip options on the market, make sure you’re buying chips that are sweetened with erythritol, monk fruit or stevia.
