Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon almond flour or oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Optional
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder thoroughly to create an even mixture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and maple syrup into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms, ensuring all powders are fully incorporated. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to adjust consistency.
- Optional Add-In: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter or fold them gently into the mixture for extra chocolatey texture and flavor.
- Cook: Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 30 to 40 seconds. To achieve a gooey center, be careful not to overcook. Let it cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Use plant-based milk to keep the recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate protein powder.
