Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or your favorite flavor)
- 2 tablespoons oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
- 1 egg (or 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce for egg-free)
- 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon peanut butter or chocolate chips (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
1. Mix the Batter
- In a microwave-safe mug, mix protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder (if using).
- Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Stir well until a smooth batter forms.
- Mix in peanut butter or chocolate chips if desired.
2. Microwave the Mug Cake
- Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. Check at 60 seconds—if the center is still wet, microwave for another 15–30 seconds until set.
- Let cool for 1 minute before eating.
3. Serve & Enjoy
- Top with Greek yogurt, nut butter, or berries for extra flavor!
Storage & Reheating
- Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds.
Notes
- Use casein or whey protein for different textures. Casein makes it denser; whey makes it fluffier.
- Swap oat flour for coconut flour (use only 1 tablespoon) for a low-carb version.
- Want it fudgy? Add 1 teaspoon melted chocolate or ½ mashed banana to the batter.
