This Cinnamon Apple Protein Mug Cake is ready in about 5 minutes, made right in your mug, and it tastes like apple pie in cake form. With about 32 grams of protein, it’s a dessert that actually works with your goals. It’s also a great post-workout snack when you want something cozy. 🛒 Ingredients 1/4 cup oat flour (or 1/3 cup rolled oats blended into a flour) 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla whey protein powder 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of salt 3 tablespoons liquid egg whites (or 1 large egg white) 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk) 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 small apple, finely diced (about 1/4 cup) Optional toppings: A spoonful of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of almond or peanut butter, or an extra sprinkle of cinnamon 👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions Prep the Mug: Lightly spray a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces) with cooking spray. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to the mug and stir with a fork until combined. Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the egg whites, applesauce, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until smooth, scraping the bottom and sides so no dry pockets are left. Fold in the Apple: Stir in most of the diced apple, saving a few pieces to sprinkle on top. Microwave: Cook on high for 60 seconds, then check. Continue in 15 to 20 second bursts until the cake has risen and the center is just set, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Microwaves vary, so keep an eye on it. Overcooked protein cake gets rubbery! Cool & Top: Let it rest for a minute, then add your favorite toppings and dig in. Nutritional Information A Quick Note: The following nutritional information is an estimate for 1 mug cake without the optional toppings. Protein powders vary a lot, so check your label for the most accurate numbers. Calories: ~330 kcal Protein: ~32 g Fat: ~4 g Carbohydrates: ~40 g Fiber: ~5 g Sugar: ~14 g (mostly from the apple, applesauce and maple syrup) Tips & Swaps Using plant protein? Plant-based powders soak up more liquid, so add an extra 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until the batter is thick but stirrable. Swap the fruit: Diced pear is just as delicious this time of year. Make it extra cozy: Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice with the cinnamon. Want it sweeter? Add another teaspoon of maple syrup, or use a sweetened protein powder.
