Make this chocolate protein mug cake using 6 simple ingredients in less than 10 minutes right in your microwave.
Servings: 2 mug cakes
Ingredients
- 2 Egg Whites
- ½ cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup Powdered Peanut Butter
- 4 teaspoons Peanut Butter
optional:
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cocoa powder, applesauce, protein powder and powdered peanut butter until creamy and smooth.
- Divide into 2 ramekins and microwave 1 to 1:30 minutes, or until brownie is set.
- Top each with a teaspoon of peanut butter and any additional toppings.
Notes
- Microwave cakes can overcook quickly, so it’s best to slightly undercook them. It will continue to cook after you remove it from the microwave.
- The batter should be thick, like a brownie batter rather than a thin cake batter.
- You can store the batter for 24 hours, so you can make it once and have dessert for two days.
