Notes

You do need a vegan protein powder for this eggless apple mug cake recipe to work. Vegan protein powder absorbs more liquid than whey protein.
That said, this recipe was made with a pea protein powder blend. If you’re using a fermented pea protein, you’ll want to add 1  tbs of almond milk (more liquid) to the recipe.
If you like texture, grate the apple normally. If you want it to blend better, finely grate the apple and make sure to peel is first.
This apple pie mug cake isn’t a fluffy-cake type recipe. Because it’s paleo, it’s much more like an apple crisp. However, it’s extremely rich, sweet, and cozy.
