Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 tbsp oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for a chocolate version, optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tbsp milk (almond, oat, or dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips or nuts (optional)

Instructions

    In a microwave-safe mug, combine the protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder (if using). Stir well.
  2. Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
