Instructions

  1. Spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick spray.
  2. Add protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the mug.
  3. Stir in egg, Greek yogurt, and milk until smooth.
  4. Microwave for 45 to 75 seconds, depending on your microwave.
  5. Let it cool for 1 minute before eating. The center should be soft but not raw.

40/400 Notes

  • Do not overcook. Protein mug cakes can get dry quickly.
  • If the batter looks too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
  • Use a protein powder you already enjoy because the flavor comes through.
  • Let the mug cake rest for a minute before eating so the texture sets.
