Best Protein Mug Cake

flour

tbsp vanilla protein powder

½ tsp baking powder

milk (oat, almond, or cow’s milk)

vanilla extract

tbsp mini chocolate chips (or regular sized (optional))

In a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, mix the oat flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder.

Add in the milk and vanilla. Whisk until there are no clumps, and a smooth batter is formed.

Stir in chocolate chips if desired and sprinkle extra on top.

Microwave on high for 60 - 75 seconds. Every microwave is different, so I always check mine at the 50-second mark. If they look underdone or a little liquidy, cook in 10-second intervals until done.

Serve immediately; enjoy!

I’ve made this every day for a week, it’s so great! Love the ingredients. Thank you for sharing Tati. :) 
For other people subbing, I only had maple syrup so I used a 1/2 tbsp of that instead of coconut sugar, and no vanilla essence cuz my protein powder’s quite flavourful + I’m using soy milk, and it was great. Have also been experimenting with adding more protein (extra tbsp, with corresponding extra 1/2 - 1 tbsp of milk) and next am going to try some frozen berries. Such a forgiving recipe everything seems to work!!

I used rice flour (oat allergy) with casein whey, and skinny syrup.  It came out with an English pudding consistency.  Very tasty!  An easy allergy swap with awesome results!

This made my day, happy you enjoyed it!! It's my favorite recipe.

Super satisfying and love the ingredients, thank you!

this was my first time ever making a mug cake and i was honestly so impressed by the science of it, but also how delicious and easy it was! made yesterday and today!!

Really yummy! This is the best vegan mug cake I’ve had yet, thank you!! 🙏❤️
I used a gluten free all-purpose flour, which made it kinda thick, but a tbsp more water and it came out perfect! Not too chewy or dry, just a perfect moistness 😋 I added peaches and strawberries in addition to the chocolate chips, and it was 🔥🔥

This protein powder mug cake tastes like a gooey brownie but packs in over 30 grams of protein. It&#039;s ready in just one minute and uses simple ingredients. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!

Protein Mug Cake Recipe

protein powder (32-34 grams)

coconut flour

granulated sweetener of choice (* See notes)

cocoa powder (adjust to desired chocolate content)

egg (or 3 egg whites, whisked)

milk

Grease a small cereal bowl or deep mug and set aside.

Add the whisked egg and milk into the dry mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Top with chocolate chips if desired.

I've made this a few times and its very filling. Sometimes I halve the recipe and leave out the cocoa and  sub white chocolate chips, 1 tbsp coconut and fresh raspberries on top. So tasty and still an ample serving! Going to try to come up with more variations!

Just tried this for the first time. Worked perfectly!  Happy to find a dessert fits into my diet after bariatric surgery that doesn’t taste like chemicals or cottage cheese!  The only thing I would say is that if  you are using allulose, use more than 2 T.  Next time, I will try with 3T.

I saw the recipe and had to try it immediately. Loved it and will be making it again soon. Thanks so much for the delicious treat.

I am a grandmother who lives in Mexico and I have tried several of the recipes published.  
They have all been easy to prepare and very good tasting.

I  am grateful to be part of this community and thank Arman Liew for his effort and creativity.

I also like the news about his companion, "Kewpie".

I used all purpose flour instead of coconut flour and it came out amazing.  I like this "brownie" more than traditional brownies.  It was incredible.

Best mug cake recipie I have tried. All others are dry and taste of protein. Made this for my brother and it’s our new favorite.

This was absolutely delicious.  Cakey yet moist and so chocalety!  A definite keeper.  My husband has become of all the "high protein" desserts that I've made.  Most of them are NQR.  This was certainly an exception to his rule.  Thank you, Arman.  I'll be testing your other healthy suggested goodies.

WOW!!... sounds like an amazing recipe! I'll be trying it ASAP!! Question: can I possibly use egg white protein powder, or will that dry it out too much?

WOW!!... sounds like an amazing recipe! I'll be trying it ASAP!! Question: can I possibly use egg white protein powder, or will that dry it out too much? Perhaps I can add some moisture and/or microwave it for a shorter time since nuking tends to dry "baked" goods out anyway? Thanks!

I make this protein mug cake almost every night- it is such a savior!!!!

I never have success with mug cakes. They either don’t rise, dry out or taste terrible. But this one was fantastic. Omitted the sweetener but added a tablespoon of molasses and some vanilla extract and it came out perfect. This one is a keeper.

Thank you for the recipe!  I made it in a ramekin, and baked it in the oven on 325F for 20m and then 350F for another 10m as the middle was runny.  It hit the chocolate spot.  I added raw walnuts into the batter for some Omega-3s.

I make this protein mug cake at least once every two days!

This protein powder mug cake recipe takes less than a minute to make and packs in over 25 grams of protein per serving.

This sweet potato mug cake is the perfect dessert when you are baking for one or for two.  It is gluten free, protein packed, made with actual sweet potato and full of great nutrients, but it tastes like the best dessert you've ever had.

Sweet Potato Mug Cake

eggs

almond flour

vanilla coconut sugar

teaspoon cinnamon

salt

Mini chocolate chips

Take a sweet potato, poke holes in it, wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes.  When done (be careful it&#8217;ll be hot), cut in half and scoop out flesh and mash with a fork. Measure out 6 tablespoons to use, keep the rest for another recipe.

Take your sweet potato and combine it with the rest of your ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a large mixing bowl, stirring until well combined.  Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter evenly into two ramekins, or microwave safe mugs.

Microwave each, separately, for 80 seconds.  Enjoy!

This looks super easy to make and so delicious. I am sure my family will love this! Thanks for sharing.

I had everything I needed, so we tossed this together today. My little boy absolutely loved his 'special' cake that he didn't have to share! Delicious and darn good for you too.

This turned out so good that I even tricked my kids into eating it without realizing it wasn't a "real" cake. I added some chocolate chips to the top before cooking for extra chocolate goodness
