Best Protein Mug Cake
Description
This mug cake uses oat flour mixed with vanilla whey or pea protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder to create a batter with moderate rise and a soft crumb. Milk—either oat, almond, or dairy—is added with vanilla extract to provide a smooth texture and subtle aroma.
Chocolate chips can be stirred in for added texture and sweetness, contributing melty pockets throughout the cake. The batter is microwaved for about a minute to achieve a warm, light cake ready to enjoy immediately. Because microwave power varies, cooking times may need adjustment to avoid undercooked or rubbery spots.
This mug cake serves as a convenient, portion-controlled treat rich in protein and easy to customize with preferred milk alternatives or flavor add-ins. Serving right after cooking ensures best texture and warmth.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup oat flour spooned & leveled (I love Bob’s Red Mill)
- 2 tablespoon protein powder whey or pea protein, vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- ¼ cup milk oat, almond, or cow’s milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon mini chocolate chips or regular sized (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, mix the oat flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder.
- Add in the milk and vanilla. Whisk until there are no clumps, and a smooth batter is formed.
- Stir in chocolate chips if desired and sprinkle extra on top.
- Microwave on high for 60 - 75 seconds. Every microwave is different, so I always check mine at the 50-second mark. If they look underdone or a little liquidy, cook in 10-second intervals until done.
- Serve immediately; enjoy!
