Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini cake pan to prevent sticking.

- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased mini cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the Cake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving to enhance the texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to use erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener to keep the cake low-carb.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture; natural option with no added sugars is preferred.
- Ensure the almond milk is unsweetened to maintain low sugar content.
- Sugar-free chocolate chips can be found in many health food stores or online.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with another low-carb milk alternative if desired.
