Ingredients
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: Combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, almond or oat flour, and baking powder in a microwave-safe mug or small bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry components are evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly mix in the milk and maple syrup or honey until a thick batter forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more milk gradually to achieve the right consistency.
- Optional Add-In: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter or fold them into the mixture for an extra chocolaty experience.
- Cook: Microwave the batter on high for 30 to 40 seconds. For a fudgier, gooey center, stop microwaving when the middle is still slightly soft. Let it cool for a minute before enjoying.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe container to avoid accidents.
- Almond flour adds a nutty flavor while oat flour offers a milder taste; both work well.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to your preference.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave.
