- 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
Add-ins (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips
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 well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and maple syrup until a thick batter forms, adjusting the consistency with extra milk if the batter is too thick.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter or mix them into the batter for a chocolaty surprise in every bite.
- Microwave: Cook the batter on high power in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds. For a gooey texture, keep the center slightly soft and avoid overcooking.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture.
- Use your choice of dairy or plant-based milk depending on dietary preference.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Microwave cooking times may vary depending on wattage; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
