Chocolate protein mug cake

A single-serve chocolate protein mug cake, ready in under two minutes, properly satisfying, and a sane way to handle a sweet craving.

Chocolate protein mug cake

One of my all-time favourite desserts. Quick, satisfying, and properly filling, especially in the colder months when you want something warm. Vegan protein works better here than whey; whey can go rubbery.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 25g chocolate protein powder (vegan protein works better in baking, doesn't go rubbery)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of stevia
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Heat in the microwave for 25–35 seconds, until the middle is cake-like and the top and edges are slightly running.
  3. Top with Greek yoghurt and berries, or make icing: 1 tablespoon light cream cheese mixed with a pinch of stevia and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
