Ingredients
  

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (your favorite type)

2 tablespoons almond flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of sea salt

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)

1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce (or Greek yogurt)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter

Instructions
 

In a microwave-safe mug, add the chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk together until well-combined.

    Add in the unsweetened almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no dry lumps.

      If desired, fold in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

        Microwave the mug cake on high for 60-90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds and check for doneness; it should be firm to the touch but still slightly moist. Be cautious not to overcook!

          Once done, let it cool for a minute. Top with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of your favorite nut butter if desired.

            Enjoy your delicious and nutritious mug cake straight from the mug!
