Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 banana banana ensure it's ripe for natural sweetness
  • 1 scoop protein powder chocolate flavored, adjust sweetness based on its type
  • 2 tbsp oat flour can substitute with any preferred flour for dietary needs
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder use unsweetened for a rich chocolate taste
  • 0.5 tbsp preferred sweetener adjust amount based on banana ripeness and protein powder sweetness
  • 0.33 tsp baking powder essential for a light and fluffy texture
  • 0.25 cup milk of choice dairy or non-dairy milk works well
  • 1 pinch salt enhances the overall flavors
  • 1 tsp chocolate chips optional, for an extra treat

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe mug or ramekin
  • Microwave

Method
 

  1. Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with oil or cooking spray, or use a non-stick mug.
  2. In the mug, mash the banana and combine with protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Top your cake with chocolate chips, if desired.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 50 to 90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Microwaves may vary, so adjust the cooking time accordingly. Do not overcook it.
  5. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot!) and allow it to cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

Adjust sweetener based on the ripeness of your banana and the sweetness of your protein powder. Do not overcook the mug cake to ensure it stays moist and fluffy. Enjoy warm!
