Notes
The riper the banana, the sweeter the mug cake!
Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug. The size of the mug will alter the cooking time so keep an eye on it in the last 30 seconds.
It is HOT coming out of the microwave, give it a minute or two to cool down before you dive in and burn your tongue.
The protein powder you choose can and will alter the flavor and taste of the 3 ingredient mug cake as some vegan protein powder absorbs differently.
You can change the flavor easily by using vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
Scale back the carbs by replacing the banana with ¼ cup Vegan Greek yogurt, you’ll also get a bit more protein this way.
