Description

This Vanilla Berry Protein Mug Cake is a quick and nutritious single-serving dessert or snack, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while boosting your protein intake. Made with oat flour, vanilla protein powder, and mixed berries, it’s ready in just minutes using a microwave. Whether you need a healthy breakfast option or a post-workout treat, this mug cake combines wholesome ingredients with delightful flavors and a soft, moist texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 25g)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or any thick yogurt)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 2 tbsp mixed berries (fresh or frozen—blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries)

Instructions

  1. MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS: In a microwave-safe mug (at least 10 oz to avoid overflow), stir together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt if using until evenly combined.
  2. ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and no dry pockets remain.
  3. FOLD IN THE BERRIES: Gently mix in the berries. If using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer without thawing—they will soften and release juices as they cook.
  4. MICROWAVE: Microwave the mug on high for 60 to 90 seconds. Start with 60 seconds, then check the top. If the center still appears wet, microwave for an additional 15 to 30 seconds. The cake should look just set but still moist.
  5. COOL SLIGHTLY AND SERVE: Allow the mug cake to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating, as the berries will be hot and the texture improves slightly after resting.

Notes

  • Use a microwave-safe mug with a volume of at least 10 oz to prevent overflow during cooking.
  • For a low-carb version, substitute oat flour with almond flour.
  • If using frozen berries, no need to thaw—add them directly to maintain moisture and flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to taste.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
