A quick and easy 90-second microwave mug cake packed with protein and flavor, perfect for a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and baking powder.
  2. Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined and no dry clumps remain.
  3. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until the cake is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  5. 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.
