Chocolate Protein Mug Cake

What is a protein mug cake? A protein mug cake is a single serve cake that uses a combination of protein powder, eggs (or vegan substitute), non-dairy milk and create a light, fluffy and gooey mug cake.

Unlike traditional mug cakes, protein mug cakes are super low carb, packed with protein and usually are made without flour or sugar.

We created a veganized version of the traditional protein mug cake – This fluffy and moist chocolate mug cake is made with Elevate’s Chocolate Brownie Protein Powder, and ready within 2 minutes. This delicious plant-based and sugar free chocolate mug cake tastes more like a chocolate cake dessert than a protein treat, but – It’s paleo, vegan, gluten-free and sugar free!

1. Mix egg replacer with 4 tbsp of water until it is an egg yoke like substance, and place in a mug.
