Healthy Mocha Mug Cake (High Protein)
Some days we just need chocolate. Some days we just need chocolate coffee. And most days we just need both, that's why this healthy mocha mug cake is the solution!
Servings: 1 servings
Ingredients
- 1/3 banana (or 2 tbsp applesauce)
- 25 grams (3 tbsp) oat flour
- 20 grams (3 tbsp) protein powder (or more oat flour, see notes*)
- 1 to 2 tsp maple syrup, honey or agave (to taste)
- 1/3 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 40 ml (3 tbsp) milk of choice
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) brewed coffee
- 10 grams (2 tsp) dark chocolate
Instructions
- Mocha coffee. Prepare brewed coffee first. Then melt chocolate in hot coffee.
- Add to a microwave safe mug mashed banana, oat flour, protein powder, maple syrup, baking powder and pinch salt. Pour in milk, mocha coffee and stir to combine. If you desire, stir in chocolate chips.
- Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds to 3 minute. Stop, wait and restart the microwave if the oats flood while cooking (for oven method see notes*).
Notes
- Both vegan and whey protein can be used. However, I recommend vegan protein powder because heating whey protein makes the cake quite dry.
- Use unflavored, chocolate or coffee flavored protein powder.
- Bake in hot oven at 180Cº (350Fº) for 15/20 minutes.
