Microwavable Protein Mug Cake with Creamy Yogurt Frosting

Microwavable Protein Mug Cake with Creamy Yogurt Frosting

Want a healthy dessert? Need to get in some quick protein? Only have a few minutes? Then this quick and easy recipe has your back!

We also included a recipe for yogurt frosting, but that is completely optional, the cake still tastes delicious on its own :)

Ingredients for the cake

  • One serving of your favorite protein pudding mix (we used Lucuma Almond spice)
  • 1 tbsp of your favorite keto flour (we used almond)
  • 1/2 cup mylk 
  • 2 tsp of yacon syrup (or your preferred syrup, we use yacon because it is all natural, naturally contains fiber and prebiotics, and does not spike your blood sugar)
  • A pinch of baking powder

Optional Flavor Variations and Add ins

  • Snickerdoodle: Add a pinch of Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and all spice (go easy on the cinnamon, the chia mix already has some!)
  • Nut butter: Mix 1 tablespoon to the batter (make sure it is room temperature or it won't mix in) and drizzle some on top after!
  • Blondie's: Add in 1 tbsp of mini unsweetened chocolate chips
  • Almond butter: add 1 tablespoon to the batter (make sure to whisk it until combined) or drizzle some on top after for flavor and healthy fats.
  • Blueberries: Add 2 tablespoons of blueberries to the batter before microwaving.
  • Apple pie: Replace the milk with apple sauce and add 2 tablespoons of cut-up apple pieces to the batter before baking in the microwave.
  • Carrot cake: Add 3 tbsp of shredded carrots to the batter and add a little more  cinnamon.
  • Pumpkin pie: add 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and 2 tbsp of canned pumpkin. Make sure to mix well.

Optional Yogurt Frosting 

Mix a 1/4 cup of your yogurt of choice (we like plain unsweetened coconut yogurt), a pinch of monk fruit, and your favorite spices (we love cinnamon and ginger). 

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl or mug, mix the flour, dry protein pudding mix, yacon syrup, and baking powder.

2. Add in the milk. Mix until a smooth batter is formed.

3. Stir in any additional toppings (we gave suggestions above, but feel free to experiment with your own!)

4. Microwave on high for 60 – 75 seconds. Note that every microwave is different so it may be a good idea to check on your cake at the 45 second mark. If it looks underdone, you can cook in 15 second intervals until its done!

5. Optional: Top with the yogurt frosting and whatever toppings of your choice! Note that if the cake is still hot, the yogurt might melt a little.
