You can have this healthy, delicious and fudgy 3 ingredient chocolate protein mug cake ready within the next 2 minutes. Wait! What?! That’s right. This easy, one bowl (or mug) chocolate protein cake is super easy to make. All you need to make this decadent, moist, gooey and protein-packed treat is a fork, a bowl, and a microwave! For a molten lava chocolate cake version, simply reduce the baking time slightly. Entirely Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, flourless and kid-friendly! Chocolate cake for breakfast? Yes, YES! (Oven option available)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What’s in there? Well, the recipe consists of three simple ingredients. It is so simple and quick to make that you can have this one ready before your toasts are. Actually, I think that the only quicker breakfast option would be a good old bowl of cereal. But don’t you get tired of these sometimes?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guilt-free chocolate protein cake for breakfast? DO it. Yes!<\/p>\n (Or as a mid-afternoon\/post-workout snack? Perfect.)<\/p>\n I have included several recipe options and variations in the recipe box below. You see, making this recipe with only the 3 base ingredients is perfectly fine. It is still super tasty (pick a chocolate protein powder brand that tastes good though!). BUT, pimping this recipe a little bit by adding 1 or 2 simple ingredients will bring it from wow… to AH-Mah-Zing!<\/p>\n But like I said, it is totally up to you. If you prefer simplicity over taste, the base recipe is excellent. Your choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ve also said above that this cake can easily be turned into a molten lava cake. The secret? Simply reduce nuke time. Every brand\/model of microwave is different though. And when I say different, I mean DIFFERENT. If you have a very powerful microwave, above 1000 watts, I’d say 1 minute baking time is usually enough. If you have an older unit with a very low wattage, you might have to increase the baking time up to two minutes or more to have a perfectly baked mug cake.<\/p>\n Bon ap\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n3 Ingredient Protein Mug Cake<\/h2>\n
