  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the protein powder, flour, and ground cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
  2. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
  3. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for about 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mug cake is set and springs back to the touch. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave wattage.

  • Be careful not to overcook in the microwave to avoid a dry texture.
  • Optional toppings include a drizzle of honey, nut butter, or a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.
