Description

This quick and easy 3-Minute Chocolate Protein Mug Cake is a perfect single-serving treat for chocolate lovers looking for a protein-packed snack or dessert. Made with oat flour, chocolate protein powder, and cacao powder, it’s sweetened naturally with coconut sugar and enhanced with melty chocolate chips. Ready in just minutes using your microwave, it’s ideal for a fast, delicious, and satisfying guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a small mug or ramekin, stir together oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cacao powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients and some chocolate chips: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add half of the chocolate chips; stir thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Top with remaining chocolate chips: Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips evenly on top of the batter for extra melty pockets of chocolate.
  4. Microwave the cake: Cook the mug cake in the microwave on high power for 60 seconds. Then continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until the batter expands to the top of the mug, which should take 80-90 seconds total depending on your microwave’s power.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt and enjoy warm. For added indulgence, top with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of nut butter.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug or ramekin to avoid accidents.
  • Cooking times may vary based on the power of your microwave; keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
  • For a dairy alternative, unsweetened almond milk works perfectly, but other plant-based milks can be substituted.
  • Adding a small pinch of coarse salt enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Feel free to customize by adding nuts, berries, or a swirl of peanut butter on top before microwaving.
