Instructions
Mix Ingredients for Eggless Protein Mug Cake
- In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, add:
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 2 tbsp mashed banana or applesauce
- 2 tbsp milk
- Stir until you get a smooth batter.
- If too thick, add 1 more tbsp milk. If too runny, add a bit more protein powder.
- Optional: add a pinch of baking powder for extra fluffiness.
Step 2: Microwave
- Microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds.
- Check the center — if it’s still wet, microwave for 10–15 seconds more.
- Do not overcook — the center should be just set and spongey.
Step 3: Let It Sit
- Let it rest for 1 minute before eating for better texture and safety.
Notes
For extra softness, try mashed banana and oat milk — they always give the best texture without needing more ingredients.
