This protein mug cake is healthy and good for your gains. Mashed banana does the sweetening, a chocolate ball in the middle does the lava, and the microwave does the rest, so now you can eat mug cakes every day.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana
  • 50 g flour
  • 15 g cocoa powder
  • 1/3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder, chocolate or banana
  • 60 ml milk of your choice
  • for greasing butter
  • 1 Lindt or other chocolate ball, for the lava core
  • a tiny pinch salt

Method

  1. 1

    Mash half a banana with a fork in a bowl.

  2. 2

    To the same bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, a tiny pinch of salt and a scoop of protein powder.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and mix until completely smooth.

  4. 4

    Grease a microwave-proof ramekin with butter and add the mixture.

  5. 5

    Push a chocolate ball into the middle for a juicy lava core, I didn't use any sweetener, so this does that job too.

  6. 6

    Microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes. It really depends on your microwave, so experiment with the timing: you want a gooey inside and a nice fluffy outside.
