- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until all dry components are evenly distributed.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix thoroughly until a uniform batter forms without lumps.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the greased mini cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing and serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the peanut butter is creamy for smooth batter consistency.
- Use erythritol or other keto-approved sweeteners to keep sugar content low.
- You can substitute almond milk with other unsweetened nut milks if preferred.
- Check the cake at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking; ovens vary.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving for better texture and flavor balance.
