Duncan Hines’ New Microwavable Cakes Are 100% Keto-Friendly

If you’ve been paying attention in the past couple of years, you’ll know that the keto diet is totally in right now. It’s a plan that sticks to protein-rich meats, leafy greens, nuts and berries. Keto cuts out carbs almost entirely, so that means no after-dinner snacking if you’re craving something sugary, like cake or cookies.

But Duncan Hines is changing the way we follow keto. These all-new microwavable cake cups are the best way to curb cravings without giving up your New Year’s resolution.

They Come in Three Decadent Flavors

Duncan Hines is giving dieters something sweet to indulge in this year. The keto-friendly cake cups contain just five grams of carbs, eight to 10 grams of good-for-you protein and a whopping 0 grams of added sugar. They come in three delectable flavors including Double Chocolate, Birthday Cake and Walnut Fudge Brownie. Um, yum!

The best part, though, is you can get munching in virtually no time. Just add some water and butter (or the butter substitute of your choice) and stir. You’ll need to puff it up in the microwave for about a minute, but it’s a small price to pay for cakes this tasty. We already can’t wait to try one.

All of these keto munchies are available on Amazon.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled for the Cake Cups

They’re not in stores just yet, but you’ll want to keep an eye out in March. They retail at $2.15 apiece, and they’ll likely be available in the dessert aisle of your local grocery store. Even if you’re not following the keto trend, these cakes will be worth every bite.

Prefer home cooking, but still looking to stick to your 2020 plan? Don’t miss out on all of our best keto recipes! (They’re as indulgent as they are good for you.)
