Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (like stevia or sugar)
- 1/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: icing or glaze
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather a microwave-safe mug and measure all ingredients. Lightly spray or rub a little oil inside the mug to prevent sticking.
- Mixing: In the mug, combine protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sweetener. Stir to mix, then add milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 1-2 minutes, checking at 60 seconds, then in bursts of 15-20 seconds until set.
- Finishing: Let cool for about a minute. Add icing or glaze if desired, and serve warm from the mug or on a plate.
Notes
For a moister cake, add more milk if using absorbent protein powder, and watch the cooking time closely to avoid overcooking. Customize toppings according to preference.
