Notes
The protein mug cake does rise and deflate. It stays super light, but it will deflate a bit.
You can add in any mixings you enjoy (sprinkles, chocolate chips etc). Make sure to add them in last, though, and mix well as they do tend to sink to the bottom.
The mug cake is HOT coming out of the microwave, so let it cool before you gobble it up.
Know that you cannot substitute collagen powder for vanilla protein powder, as they absorb differently.
Mug cakes do not store well, this is best eaten freshly made.
