Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by mixing the dry ingredients in a mug or small bowl, including the flour, protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and your chosen sweetener. Optionally, transfer this mixture to a mug lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour in the sticky sweetener, water, and melted light butter to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency with no dry spots.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 60-70 seconds, watching closely to avoid overcooking. The center should be firm and spring back slightly when done.
- While the mug cake cooks, prepare the icing in a small bowl by mixing the ingredients until smooth and pourable.
- After cooking, carefully remove the mug cake from the microwave, pour the icing over it while warm, and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the batter, and adjust microwave time according to your device’s wattage. Use a tall mug to prevent overflow.
