One of the big recipes on my blogspot blog is Dinah’s Paleo Cake in a Mug and it is delicious. I’d worked to find a way for it to have a texture that wasn’t weird and rubbery. It was also good to know you got the protein from the egg. Best of all, it was quick and easy.
Using protein instead of almond meal or flour will sure increase the protein when you check the macros, so I’ve been tweaking, using 1st Phorm. #getmacroed #blacksheepdietician
First of all, you need to make this delicious protein cake in a mug in a BIG mug. BIG.
Here, I can prove it to you. I wanted to take this photo in Jack’s Margaritaville mug – it’s more of a normal-mug-sized mug.
This was still delicious but messy, so don’t let that happen to you.
Add the dry ingredients to the BIG mug and stir:
1 scoop 1st Phorm Formula-1 Vanilla Milkshake (or your favorite)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 heaping TBSP Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa
(Just stir it with the fork you are going to eat it with)
Then add the wet ingredients:
2 tsp maple syrup (or honey)
2 drops real vanilla
1 egg
3 TBSP pumpkin (from a can – this is what prevents a bad textured cake in a mug)
1 TBSP dark chocolate chips (you don’t have to have them in the recipe, but I think they are totally worth it in the macro plan)
Stir, making sure you stir up the bottom.
Put the mug in the microwave for 1 minute, 45 seconds, maybe just 1 minute, 30 seconds. You don’t want it to overcook – it’s good when it’s a little gooey!!!
Stir, and enjoy!
Also, if you leave out the chocolate chips your macros may fit into your day more easily, but I am a dark chocolate lover, and I think you should try it.
I also should mention that all protein scoops are not the same size. For instance, when I make this with 10 Institute Basics grass fed protein, it’s about 2 1/2 scoops – that’s a tiny scoop!
In a pinch, you can use applesauce in place of the pumpkin.
