Protein Mug Cake
Description
This mug cake mixes oat flour with chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder to create a protein-enhanced base. Mashed banana and almond milk provide moisture and natural sweetness, while the egg binds ingredients together. Sweeteners like maple syrup and peanut butter add flavor and richness. Chocolate chips folded into the batter melt during cooking for texture and bursts of chocolate.
The cake is microwaved until it sets, yielding a moist and tender crumb with a dense yet fluffy texture typical of mug cakes. It is intended as a convenient single portion to satisfy a chocolate craving with extra protein content. Topping with additional peanut butter adds creaminess and enhances the nutty flavor.
