Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Mug Cake (Healthy!)
Description
The Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Mug Cake combines gluten-free baking flour and vanilla vegan protein powder with baking powder, maple syrup, and an egg to produce a quick-cooking batter. Chocolate chips are split between mixed-in and sprinkled on top to distribute melted chocolate both throughout and on the surface.
Microwaving the mixture for 65 seconds produces a small cake that is moist and slightly tender, with the top chocolate chips providing extra sweetness and texture. The cake deflates slightly after cooking but remains soft. Cooling before eating prevents burning and allows the flavors to settle.
This mug cake suits a quick individual dessert or snack, requiring minimal cleanup. Adjustments can be made depending on the protein powder used, such as adding milk if using pea protein, to maintain batter consistency. The recipe is best stirred well to prevent protein powder settling before microwaving.
Ingredients
- 1 tbs gluten-free baking flour 1:1
- 2.5 tbs vegan protein powder vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine all the ingredients but only half the chocolate chips.
- Mix well.
- Top the mug cake with the remaining chocolate chips
- Microwave for 65 seconds
- Let cool fully and enjoy
Notes
- If using pea protein powder, add 1.5 tablespoons of milk to the batter for proper consistency.
- Allow the mug cake to cool fully before eating to avoid burns and to let it set.
- Stir the batter thoroughly to prevent protein powder from settling at the bottom.
- Splitting the chocolate chips between mixing and topping ensures chocolate flavor throughout the cake and on top.
- The recipe has not been tested with whey protein powder; cooking times may require adjustment.
