Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour 120 grams
- 1 1/2 scoops chocolate whey protein 50 grams
- 1 scoop vanilla casein protein 33 grams
- 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 56 grams
- 3 tbsp dutch cocoa 15 grams
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder 8 grams
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce 244 grams
- 1 cup liquid egg whites 8 fl oz
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 43 grams
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add 1 cup oat flour, 1 1/2 scoops chocolate whey protein, 1 scoop vanilla casein protein, 3 tbsp dutch cocoa, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- Add 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup liquid egg whites, 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, and 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined and divide into 21 (2) tbsp freezer cube molds.
- Add 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the batter and press gently into the top of the batter. Cover and freeze until solid.
- To cook, add three (2) tbsp cubes into a mug and microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The cook time may vary depending on your microwave - if the mug cake begins to sink back down into the mug after rising, stop cooking. Top with any desired toppings before serving.
Notes
Cooking Time: May vary based on your microwave's power and settings. Mine leans toward the more powerful end of residential microwaves and took about 30 seconds of cook time per cube (1 cube = 30 secs, 2 cubes = 60 secs, etc.), but it could take up to 45 seconds for each additional cube.
Freezer Trays: I recommend Souper Cubes 2 tbsp trays over silicone ice trays for ease of removing the frozen cubes. Small silicone muffin cups arranged on a baking sheet will also work for freezing.
