Protein Mug Cake
Description
The Protein Mug Cake combines oat flour with cocoa and protein powder, levitated by baking powder and sweetened lightly with coconut sugar. Dairy-free milk provides moisture, while mini chocolate chips add bursts of melting chocolate. The batter is mixed and microwaved directly in a mug or ramekin, yielding a quick, tender cake with a chocolate-forward taste and a protein-enriched profile.
After cooking, additional chocolate chips are added to the warm surface, melting slightly and enhancing the chocolate texture. The mug cake is a speedy option for an energy-boosting dessert or snack in minimal time and effort.
The recipe offers flexibility with protein powder flavors and optional chocolate chips, and notes that microwaving times can vary by appliance. Using oven mitts is recommended as the mug becomes hot.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oat flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp protein powder vanilla or chocolate
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup dairy-free milk
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients to a mug or ramekin. Reserve a few mini chocolate chips for after the mug cake is cooked.
- Mix together.
- Then, microwave on high for 60 seconds. Then, microwave in additional 10 second increments as needed.
- Carefully remove the mug cake from the microwave. Immediately sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.
- Finally, serve!
Notes
- Oat flour can be replaced with almond flour if preferred, using about 3 tablespoons.
- Both vanilla and chocolate protein powders work; chocolate adds a richer chocolate taste.
- Chocolate chips are optional but enhance the texture and flavor when included.
- Microwave times vary; adjust in 10-second increments to avoid overcooking.
- Use oven mitts to handle the hot mug safely after microwaving.
