Death by Chocolate Protein Mug Cake [Recipe]

When I was younger I wasn’t so into chocolate. But that’s only because I was into everything! Like candy and biscuits (that’s cookies to you) and cake & crips (chips in your world). Really, I didn’t discriminate between anything yummy. I loved and consumed all delicious tasting things equally!

As the years have passed though, I have found myself turning into somewhat of a chocoholic – and I used to be so vanilla too! Maybe it’s because I deprived myself of it for so long, who knows. Thanks to flexible eating I love that I’m able to eat anything chocolatey again and not feel even remotely guilty about it. But there are still those occasions when I need to satisfy that craving for something rich and not blow my macros. And that’s where this chocolatey protein mug cake saves the day!

This mug cake recipe reminds me SO much of a chocolate lava cake – if you’ve never had one, your taste buds haven’t lived! The chocolate sauce is the game changer here making this mug cake oh so ooey, gooey. You’ll never struggle with hitting your protein again!

Want to make this vegan friendly? You can easily substitute the protein powder for your favorite vegan blend. You can either skip the egg whites or whip up a blend of Aquafaba.

I recommend microwaving for 30 seconds, then adding in 6 grams of unsweetened chocolate chips & finishing off in the microwave. SO freaking delicious.
