Snickers Protein Mug Cake
This single-serving Snickers Protein Mug Cake is a healthy, high-protein microwave cake ready in 5 minutes. Chocolate protein powder, peanuts, and caramel combine for a quick single-serve dessert or post-workout munchie.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp oat flour
- 1 Tbsp PB2 powder
- 1 Tbsp sweetener sugar, monk fruit or whatever you like
- 1/4 tsp baking powder *see note about baking powder
- 1/4 cup + 1/2 Tbsp milk any kind you like
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tbsp caramel sauce
- t Tbsp chopped peanuts
- chocolate drizzle or extra caramel drizzle optional
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, oat flour, sweetener, baking powder, and PB2 powder until fully combined.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms. The mixture should be thick but pourable; add a splash more milk if needed.
- Microwave the mug cake for about 25–30 seconds, just until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top (or gently fold them in) along with a spoonful of caramel sauce.
- Return to the microwave and cook for another 20–30 seconds, or until the top looks just set. Avoid overcooking so it stays soft and cake-like.
- Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and, if you’d like, add a chocolate drizzle or a small piece of Snickers for a fun candy bar touch.
