This is the best vanilla protein mug cake! It's made with protein powder to keep it high in protein, but has the most delicious vanilla and chocolate flavour.

Ingredients

1 large egg
2 tablespoon coconut milk (or other milk of choice)
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoon almond flour
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

Place all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, into a large mug.
Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter.
Stir in half of the chocolate chips.
Place the mug in the microwave and heat it on high heat for 70-80 seconds.
Remove the mug from the microwave and top the cake with the remaining chocolate chips. Let it cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

Use a large, tall mug to make this cake to prevent any mess in your microwave.
I recommend using full fat coconut milk to make this cake.
Be sure to stir the batter well so there are no clumps remaining before you cook it.
Don't overcook this cake - if you cook it too long it will turn out more dry and crumbly rather than moist and fudgy.
This cake tastes best if you let it cool for a few minutes after cooking it - when you first take it out of the microwave it will be a little more slimy in texture, but if you let it cool for a few minutes it develops that perfect cake-like texture.
