Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 30g)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons milk (any variety, dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 to 120 seconds. The cake should rise and be firm to the touch but still moist inside. Adjust time slightly based on your microwave’s power.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mug cake to cool for a minute or two before eating, as it will be hot. Enjoy directly from the mug or transfer to a plate.
Notes
- Use any protein powder flavor but chocolate works best for rich flavor.
- Adjust milk quantity for desired batter thickness.
- Cooking time may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nut butter, or a dollop of yogurt.
