Ingredients

  • ½ banana ripe
  • 1 scoop (30 grams) protein powder chocolate, see notes*
  • 15 grams (2 tbsp) oat flour or preferred flour
  • 10 grams (1 tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp preferred sweetener if necessary, see notes*
  • ⅓ tsp baking powder
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) milk of choice
  • 1 tsp chocolate chips
  • a pinch of salt optional

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe mug, mash the banana and combine with protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Top your protein mug cake with chocolate chips.
  • Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Microwaves may vary, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow the cake to cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

  • This protein mug cake recipe uses chocolate flavored casein protein powder. You can replace with vegan protein powder or a blend of whey and casein. Whey alone is not recommended.
  • As this recipe uses chocolate flavored protein powder, there is no need for additional sweeteners. If you opt for unflavored protein powder, you will need to fix the taste with about one tablespoon of sweetener.
