- 1/4 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or your choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder.
- Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined and no dry clumps remain.
- If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- For a richer peanut butter flavor, add an extra teaspoon of peanut butter on top before microwaving.
- Adjust sweetener to your preference.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or coconut flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid.
- This recipe is easily adaptable to other flavors. Try adding a pinch of cinnamon for a Mexican chocolate twist, or a few berries for a fruity note.
