Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted (or runny peanut butter!)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon milk of choice
  • 3 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon flour of choice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil and maple syrup. Add in the milk. Add chocolate protein, flour, baking powder and salt and stir well. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Grease a microwave safe mug or ceramic dish and pour in the cake batter. Top with additional chocolate if desired.
  • Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds to start. Continue microwaving in 15 second increments until mug cake is fully cooked (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). Mine typically takes about 1 minute and 45 seconds total. Top with powdered sugar if desired!

Notes

As all microwaves are different, carefully watch after the first 1 min 15 seconds to ensure your mug cake does not overflow. Cook time may also vary based on how deep your mug is.
