  • It can be very tough to find real food protein powder.  We love Prime Protein Unflavored because it contains only one ingredient!
  • If you need to replace the oat flour, use 3 tablespoons of almond flour instead.
  • For a version with less sugar, omit the chocolate chips.  They contain a little added sugar.
  • Your microwave may be stronger or weaker.  Adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Be careful handling the mug.  It will be very hot!
  • Best served warm and fresh.
