Overview: How To Make Protein Mug Cake?

When those sweet cravings hit, this recipe is your go-to solution. Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a mug or ramekin, then add almond milk and chocolate chips.

To avoid overcooking, check the cake every 10 seconds after 30 seconds, cooking for a total of 60�80 seconds until it rises to the top. Once done, sprinkle with sea salt for a tasty finish.

With chocolate chips evenly spread throughout, this mug cake boasts a moist and gooey texture. It’s the perfect treat for any occasion when you need a little sweetness. Whether served in a ramekin or mug, this dessert satisfies those moments when you crave just a touch of sweetness. You can also pair it with my Snow Ice Cream to satisfy your taste buds.

Time For The Tips!

1. Measure Oat Flour: Spoon and level your oat flour to avoid adding too much, which could dry out the mug cake. Avoid scooping directly from the bag.
2. Check at 50 Seconds: Since microwaves vary, check the mug cake at 50 seconds. If it looks underdone or liquidy, continue cooking in 10-second intervals until done.
3. Avoid Overbaking: Don’t microwave for too long, as it can result in a rubbery or dry cake.
4. Enjoy Promptly: Protein mug cakes are best enjoyed within 5 minutes of making them.
5. Choose Quality Protein Powder: Use a good quality protein powder for the perfect mug cake. Low-quality powders may result in a rubbery texture.
6. Homemade Oat Flour: If needed, make homemade oat flour by blending rolled oats until smooth. Measure out what the recipe calls for using a measuring cup, spooning and leveling it.

Storing and Managing Leftovers!

As this recipe is designed for immediate consumption, it’s best enjoyed hot and fresh from the microwave. Saving leftovers isn’t ideal as the texture may deteriorate.

However, if you must save leftovers, transfer the mug cake from the mug or ramekin and tightly wrap it in plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator where it will stay fresh for about a day before losing its optimal texture.
