Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake
This Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Protein Mug Cake recipe is the perfect delicious treat to satisfy your sweet cravings while getting in an extra serving of protein. Enjoy it as a post-workout snack or for dessert. This single serving easy protein powder mug cake recipe is gluten free and made with simple ingredients you'll likely already have at home!
Equipment
- 1 Large microwave safe coffee mug
- 1 Small whisk or fork
Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ⅓ cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter powder
- 1 large egg or flax egg
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the batter. In a large microwave-safe mug or large ramekin, combine the dry ingredients (protein powder, oat flour, baking powder and powdered peanut butter) with the wet ingredients (egg or flax egg, milk and vanilla extract), whisking vigorously until no clumps remain. The batter should be the texture of cake batter. Add in half of the chocolate chips, stirring to fully incorporate them into the batter.
- Cook the mug cake. Place the coffee mug or ramekin into the microwave. Microwave for 50 seconds, then stir and check the texture. Depending on the power of your microwave you may need to cook an additional 10-20 seconds, but do this in 5-10 second intervals to avoid the mug cake taking on a rubbery texture. Once cooked, top with the remaining half of the chocolate chips.
Notes
Note that there is no added sugar in this recipe. The protein powder I prefer has a touch of monkfruit in it, so additional sweetener isn't needed. If your preferred brand isn't sweetened and you'd like to add sweetness, you can add 2 teaspoon of maple syrup, coconut sugar, white sugar or your preferred sweetener of choice.
