Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Mug Cake

Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Mug Cake
December 29, 2022RecipesRecipes: Fall & Winter

 

This Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Mug Cake recipe is designed to use simple baking ingredients that you hopefully already have on hand when craving a single-serving baked good! The intentional addition of protein powder will help balance the carbohydrates from the banana, providing you with a flavorful, banana-bread-inspired mug cake without the sugar crash. You may also swap out the chocolate chips for chia seeds, walnuts, or raisins for a little extra fiber!
