INGREDIENTS

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

0.5 cup liquid egg whites

0.25 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder

0.5 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp natural peanut butter

0.5 tbsp dark chocolate chips

1 pinch sea salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a large microwave-safe mug or ceramic ramekin, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and sea salt until no lumps remain.

• 2

  Add the liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring vigorously until a smooth, thick batter forms.

• 3

  Place the natural peanut butter directly into the center of the batter, pressing it down slightly so it is completely submerged for a molten core.

• 4

  Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter.

• 5

  Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, checking at the 60-second mark; the cake is done when the edges are firm but the center still looks slightly soft.

• 6

  Allow the mug cake to rest for at least 1 minute before eating to let the texture set and the chocolate chips melt into the surface.
