Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 tbsp granulated sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or sugar)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 tbsp milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp melted coconut oil (optional)
  • 1 tsp mini chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the protein powder, almond flour, cocoa, baking powder, sweetener, and salt in a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug until no lumps remain.
  2. Stir in the egg white, milk, vanilla, and coconut oil until just combined, scraping the bottom of the mug.
  3. Microwave on high for 60-75 seconds, checking at 60 seconds. The top should look set and slightly puffed.
  4. Let the mug rest for 1 minute, then top with chocolate chips or a pinch of salt and eat warm.

Notes

The 1-minute rest after cooking is not counted in the cook time. If your microwave runs hot, start checking at 50 seconds. A whole egg can replace the egg white; the cake will be richer and may need 15 extra seconds.
