[#RECIPE] Decadent Choc Protein Mug Cake

In the mood for freshly baked cake, but short on time and ingredients to make one?

Why not simplify things by making a single serving cake in a mug?

Ingredients 

• 3 tbsp self-rising or oat flour

• 2 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp soy milk
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips

Method

1. In an oversized, microwavable mug whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar,  cocoa powder, and salt.
2. Add in the milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. 3. Stir in the chocolate chips. Careful not to over mix.
3. Microwave for 60 seconds to 1 ½ minute, or until firm.
