Ingredients:

  • 31g protein powder (Chocolate Whey/Casein blend)
  • 8g oat flour
  • 5g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2g baking powder
  • 1g sea salt
  • 30g unsweetened applesauce
  • 45ml unsweetened almond milk
  • 5ml maple syrup
  • 5g semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. In a 12 oz microwave-safe mug, combine the protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk with a fork until the mixture is uniform and free of clumps.
  2. Add the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and maple syrup to the dry base. Stir until the batter is smooth and well-hydrated.
  3. Drop 5g of chocolate chips into the center of the batter. Don't stir them in, let them sink naturally for a molten core.
  4. Tap the mug on the counter three times until the batter settles evenly.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. The cake should be risen and slightly tacky to the touch but not wet. Let rest for 1 minute before consuming to allow the crumb to set.
