How to Make It:
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- ¼ cup strong rooibos tea
- A few simple pantry staples
- Microwave for 1–2 mins
-
Top with honey, berries, or nuts
Enjoy!
Method:
- In a mug mix together all your dry ingredients (protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt)
- Once you dry ingredients are well mixed, add in the egg, rooibos tea and coconut oil
- Mix until well combined and there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave. (I recommend starting with one minute then testing to see if the mug cake needs longer. The cake should be able to hold its height. If it starts to sink in the mug, microwave for longer)
- Top with your desired toppings, such as honey and berries or even some nuts and seeds for a crunch.
- Enjoy your high protein snack.
This mug cake proves that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring.
