Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop (30g) chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the dry ingredients: protein powder, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and sweetener. Mix well to avoid lumps.
- Add the milk and stir until the mixture is smooth. For added flavor, consider mixing in vanilla extract.
- Fold in the chocolate chips to create gooey pockets of melted chocolate.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, checking periodically to avoid overcooking; you want it soft and slightly gooey.
- Allow it to cool for a minute before enjoying directly from the mug or transferring it onto a plate.
