Choc Prot Cake mug quick rich easy protein snack microwave mug cake recipe for busy days high protein low sugar indulgent flavor for cravings

Ingredients

Scale

3 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

3 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 large egg

1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional add-ins: 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Optional swirl: 1 teaspoon peanut butter (swirl in center before microwaving)

Instructions

In a microwave-safe mug (roughly 12 oz), whisk together the dry ingredients until there are no lumps.

Whisk in the milk, egg, vanilla, and sweetener (if using) until the batter is smooth and batter-cling free.

Stir in the optional chocolate chips or peanut butter swirl if you’re feeling fancy.

Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds. The top should look set and the center slightly springy. If it looks underdone, give it a quick 10–15 second boost in 10-second bursts—watch closely to prevent a dried-out edge.

Let it rest for about 1 minute. The aroma will fill the room; the top may crack a little as it cools. Enjoy straight from the mug or transfer to a plate for a prettier snap.

Serving ideas: top with Greek yogurt, berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce, or pair with cottage cheese for a protein-packed combo.

Notes

A quick, protein-powered chocolate mug cake you whisk and microwave in minutes, with flexible ingredients and tasty mix-ins.
