What You’ll Need (Ingredients): 

3 tbsp of all-purpose or oat flour
1 scoop FINAFLEX Clear Protein (We used Double Chocolate)
1 tbsp of sugar
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

How To Make (Instructions)

The preparation for this Microwave Protein Mug Cake couldn’t be easier. There are only a few simple steps, anyone can make it.

• Combine all of the ingredients into your mug. Make sure you choose a mug that had enough room left on top for the cake to rise, you don’t want it spilling      over while cooking! A ramekin will also work for this. Mix until all the ingredients come together into a smooth homogenous batter. 
• Take your batter and put it in the microwave. Cook it on high until you see it has fully risen. The exact cook time will depend on your microwave wattage, but it will hover somewhere between 45-80 seconds. This process happens quick, so make sure to keep an eye on it.
• Take your delicious cake out of the microwave and ENJOY! Careful though, it will be HOT! As an optional treat, you can top this cake with whipped cream or icing of your choosing, we still love it plain though!

That’s it! We promised that this recipe would be easy and we delivered on that promise. Combining just a few pantry staples and less than 2 minutes of cook time will yield the most chocolatey, delicious dessert that won’t mess with your health and fitness goals. It’s a great alternative to the less wholesome alternatives you’re going to be seeing plenty of during the holiday season.
