What you need to know about Microwave Protein Mug Cakes
Ok so here’s the thing. This isn’t the tastiest recipe out there. In fact, this protein recipe is what I consider a “functional food”. It’s definitely not winning any baking contensts, and it does NOT taste like a cupcake! However, when you have physique goals, sometimes you sacrifice a little flavor (or lack of flavor), to get in your food!
With that being said, this basic microwave protein mug cake has a lot of potential! I’m definitely experimenting with different proteins and flavors. I’m a big fan of using Walden Farm’s sugar free syrups, flavor extracts, sugar free jello, and sugar free pudding to flavor things without really changing the calorie count.
I’d totally suggest trying out different flavor combinations to find something you like! No matter what flavor add ins you try, you can stick to the basic recipe for these microwave protein mug cakes.
(and FWIW- Don’t leave off the whipped cream!! This recipe needs it!)
