Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup dairy free milk
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the dry ingredients and dairy-free milk to a mug or ramekin. Reserve a few mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top after cooking.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture on high for 60 seconds, then continue microwaving in 10-second increments as needed, until the cake is cooked through but still moist.
- Add Toppings: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and immediately sprinkle the reserved mini chocolate chips on top so they melt slightly.
- Serve: Let it cool for a moment, then enjoy your warm and protein-packed mug cake right from the mug!
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- You can substitute oat flour with almond flour for a nutty flavor and lower carbs.
- For a sweeter cake, adjust the amount of coconut sugar or add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup after cooking.
- Use any flavor of protein powder you prefer, though vanilla or chocolate works best.
