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.
  • Want a more traditional dessert? Top the mug cake with whole30 whipped cream for extra indulgence!
  • Know that you cannot sub collagen powder for vanilla protein powder as they absorb differently. If you want a protein powder recipe, check out this salted chocolate protein powder mug cake.
