Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 32–34 grams
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Lightly coat a microwave-safe mug with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, baking powder, and coconut flour, ensuring the dry ingredients are well blended. Incorporate the maple syrup, egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter into the prepared mug, optionally sprinkle with chocolate chips, and microwave on high for 60 seconds or until the center is just set.
Notes
To bake in the oven, follow the same preparation steps and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 6–7 minutes. Alternatively, the air fryer can be used for similar results.
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with an appropriate plant-based alternative and use vegan chocolate chips.
To keep it dairy-free, opt for dairy-free milk and a plant-based protein powder.
For a festive twist, replace vanilla extract with almond extract and use funfetti sprinkles instead of chocolate chips.
A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor profile.
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Though best enjoyed immediately, any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before consuming.
