Low Carb Salted Caramel Mug Cake

Make this easy sugar free salted caramel mug cake in the microwave. It’s a single serve dessert that’s low carb and keto friendly.

Do you love salted caramel treats? You have to try this keto friendly mug cake that is full of caramel with an ooey gooey topping. We think that the fall season isn’t only for pumpkin spice. The falling of the leaves and chill in the air makes us crave a warm, buttery caramel dessert. But, we don’t want all the carbs and sugar that come with it. That’s why we’ve made a sugar free caramel mug cake that has a sprinkle of sea salt and tastes perfect with a scoop of keto ice cream or topped with homemade sugar free whipped cream.

This recipe is special because it uses real caramels melted on top. As they melt, they create a buttery caramel surprise on top of a caramel cake. How did we get a mug cake to taste like caramel? We use our sugar free caramel flavoring syrup to add that toasty sweetness you associate with caramel to the cake batter. It creates a sophisticated cake that you can bake in the microwave!

Why make mug cakes at all? It’s a great option for anyone who doesn’t want leftover dessert to worry about. Single serve desserts allow you to keep to your macros easier and relieves a lot of the stress of having a bunch of treats in the house. It’s also wonderful to make a dessert that tastes high end, but only takes a couple minutes in the microwave. Plus, if you’re craving salted caramel it can sometimes be hard to find a good dessert that’s keto friendly and made without sugar. So, we hope this recipe is a delicious choice for those looking for a healthy mug cake dessert.

And, if you want to put a fun fall spin on this recipe, use our keto friendly apple caramels. They’re flavored with real apples and taste like a bite of the autumn season.

What is the difference between caramel and salted caramel?

While most caramel has a little salt added in, salted caramel takes it to the next level by adding a little more. Our sugar free caramels have a sprinkling of sea salt because we think the salt brings out the natural sweetness and buttery flavor of caramels.

 

Why does salty and sweet taste so good?

Salty and sweet taste so good because salt is a natural flavor enhancer. It suppresses sour and bitter flavors. That leaves the buttery caramel to shine! Salt also alerts some of your taste buds that something delicious is about to happen, which means you taste more sweet thanks to the sea salt.
