Description

A rich, fluffy chocolate cake made in a mug in under 3 minutes. Packed with 23g of protein, it’s the perfect quick dessert or snack to satisfy any chocolate craving.


Ingredients

Scale

3 tablespoons oat flour
2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk


Instructions

  1. Stir together the oat flour, protein powder, cacao powder, coconut sugar and baking powder in a small mug or ramekin.
  2. Pour in the almond milk and half the chocolate chips. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave for 60 seconds on high power and then in :10 second intervals thereafter until the batter reaches the top of the mug or ramekin (70-90 seconds total).
  5. Let cool for 60 seconds. Top with coarse salt, nut butter, or ice cream if desired and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For a fluffier cake, ensure your baking powder is fresh.
  • Do not over-microwave. Cook in short bursts after the first minute to avoid toughness.
  • Use a mug that holds at least 12 oz to prevent overflow.
  • Substitute dairy-free chocolate chips and ensure protein powder is plant-based for a vegan version.
