For the Cake
- 3 tablespoons plant-based protein powder (Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (substitute, see Note 2)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Optional Toppings
- peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or ice cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all the cake ingredients in 1 tall microwavable mug(s). Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps or visible egg remains. Be sure to stir the bottom corners well too, as lumps can easily hide there. It will be thick. Stir in any optional chocolate chips, if using.
- Step 2: Microwave for 90 to 100 seconds, depending on your microwave wattage. Carefully remove the mug cake from the microwave. If making more than 1 serving, microwave each mug separately.
- Serve: Add any optional toppings on top of the warm cake. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Note 1: The variety of protein powder here will impact the taste, texture, and color. We generally like to use pea protein blends. Keep in mind that a green protein powder will turn the cake green (still tastes great). We do not recommend using a whey-based protein, as it will absorb the liquid differently. Note 2: The maple syrup can be substituted with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cane or coconut sugar. If using this option, add in 2 tablespoons of water.
