Ingredients

Instructions

Microwave Option

  1. Mix all of the selected ingredients in a large mug. Do not fill it to the lid with batter as it may spill while baking.
  2. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.**

Oven Option

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Mix all of the selected ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cake batter into a large oven-safe mug or large ramequin. You may add 1/2 tsp baking powder for this option.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until desired consistency.
  4. You can check the consistency of the cake by inserting a toothpick in the center.

Recipe Notes

*For the vegan option, use plant-based protein powder and gradually add some almond milk until the batter has the consistency of a pudding. This is essential, as this type of protein powder absorbs much more moisture than whey. Baking time will also vary.

* *The type of chocolate chips used should be compliant with your personal diet.
