Notes
- If you're using pea protein powder, add in 1.5 tbs of milk to the chocolate chip mug cake batter. If you're using a brown rice-based protein powder or a coconut protein powder like Botanica, leave the recipe as is.
- The mug cake will deflate ever so slightly coming out of the microwave- but don't reduce the baking powder. Likewise, it is hot so make sure to let it cool before you dive in,
- Large chocolate chips give the protein mug cake a gooey center which is awesome.
- The reason you split up the chocolate chips is because they end to fall to the bottom. This way, you get some in the first few bites too.
- Protein powder tends to stick on the bottom so make sure to really stir the mixture before microwaving.
- The protein mug cake recipe hasn’t been tested with whey protein powder. My guess is that it would need more cook time as whey doesn’t absorb liquid like a vegan protein.
- If you use traditional all-purpose in place of gluten-free flour know that the mug cake expands a bit too much (over the top of the mug) and deflates.
