Birthday Cake Vanilla Protein Mug Cake
This vanilla protein mug cake packs in 13 grams of protein and takes just 5 minutes to make. It’s made with just 7 simple ingredients and can be customized with any protein powder of your choice. Whether you’re treating yourself after a workout or curbing a nighttime sweet tooth, this is one of my favorite single-serve treats to whip up.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons about 15 grams vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons oat flour
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk of your choice, (almond, soy, dairy, or oat)
Toppings:
- Yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients in a large mug until it forms a thin, batter-like consistency.
- Microwave for 30-45 seconds. Then, let cool for 30 seconds. Batter should be mostly dry to the touch and have a cakey texture.
- Top with yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream along with rainbow sprinkles to give it the birthday cake feel.
Notes
Nutrition Note: This is an estimate provided by an online nutrition calculator. Nutrition may vary depending on ingredients used. This calculation is for 2% milk. This calculation does not include toppings. For more nutrition information, seek a professional registered dietitian's advice.
Mug Size Note: You want to use a medium to large mug because the cake will puff up in the microwave when it cooks. Using a larger mug prevents it from spilling over the sides.
