Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 3 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the protein powder, flour, and cinnamon thoroughly. Add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 60-90 seconds, or until the mug cake has set and is cooked through but still moist.
  3. Cool and Serve: Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two before enjoying. Optionally, you can add a drizzle of honey or a light spread of nut butter for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage; start with 60 seconds and add additional time in 10-second increments if needed.
  • Use your preferred protein powder flavor to customize taste.
  • For a lower calorie option, substitute milk with water or unsweetened almond milk.
  • To create a swirl effect like a cinnamon roll, mix a teaspoon of cinnamon with a teaspoon of brown sugar and swirl into the batter before microwaving.
