Chocolate protein Mug cake with Raspberries

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1-2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute, to taste)

• A handful of fresh raspberries

Instructions:

1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix them together until well combined.

2. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until it's well beaten. Then, add it to the mug with the dry ingredients.

3. Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract into the mug with the other ingredients. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.

4. Taste the batter and add your preferred sweetener to reach your desired level of sweetness. Mix well.

5. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries into the batter.

6. Microwave the mug on high for about

1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. Start with 1 minute, and if the cake isn't set, continue microwaving in 15-30 second increments until it's cooked but still moist. Be careful not to overcook.

7. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for a minute or two.

8. Optionally, you can top your mug cake with extra raspberries and a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

9. Enjoy your delicious chocolate protein mug cake with the added goodness of rasmberries for a burst of fruity flavor & added nutrition!
