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 🔥🔥
