We all know on a ketogenic diet that peanut butter is the nectar of the gods, and combining it with chocolate just makes it even better! This mug cake is a classic combination of 2 fantastic flavors that’ll keep you coming back for more. Not only is it delicious, but it’s a great way to get your fats up. If you’re looking low on fats for the day, pop this bad boy in the microwave and you’ll be set straight before you can say ketogenesis!

A lot of people have asked me about the erythritol and stevia together. The reason I use both together is for the taste. Normally erythritol by itself can have a “cooling” after-taste, and stevia by itself can have a bitter aftertaste. Together, they balance each other out. A combination that’s made very well together – giving the sweetness you want without the after taste of the sweeteners.
Oh, and I didn’t mention that both Stevia and erythritol are all natural, they don’t impact blood sugars, and they have a glycemic index of 0. They’re pretty awesome in my book, and I use them on a consistent basis. Erythritol is particularly awesome to me, as it’s not absorbed by the body – as humans, we don’t have the enzymes to break it down – so we excrete it.
