Have your cake and eat it too with this protein mug cake! It has around 25 grams of protein per serving.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1-2 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sweetener
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 dash salt
- 1 scoop Greek yogurt (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. The batter will be runny.
- Grease a microwave-safe mug or mug with cooking spray. Pour the batter in the mug. If you’re using a bowl, you can cook the cake in the same bowl you mixed the ingredients in.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Microwave in 15-second intervals until the cake is not soft in the middle. Typically the mug cake is done in 45-75 seconds, though it varies based on your microwave and the shape of your dish. I like to mix my cake between 15-second intervals (as needed) for more even cooking.
Notes
The flour reduces the chalky texture protein may cause. The amount needed will depend on how big your scoop of protein is.
The serving is fairly large. Cut the recipe in half for a lower calorie snack.
