Equipment

Ingredients

  • 17 g Oat flour (3 Tbsp)
  • 31 g Whey protein vanilla (1/3 cup)
  • 60 g Applesauce, unsweetened (1/4 cup)
  • 24 g Diced apple
  • 14 g Greek yogurt, nonfat, plain (1 Tbsp)
  • 60 g Egg whites, liquid (2 Lg whites)
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3 Packets Noncaloric sweetener (Stevia, Truvia, etc)

Instructions

  • Put dry ingredients in a small bowl or pyrex cup and combine thoroughly.
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix well with a fork or spoon.
  • Coat the inside of a large mug / coffee cup with non stick spray.
  • Pour the batter into the greased mug.
  • Microwave on high for about 60 seconds. It’s normal for the cake to rise up while cooking, then settle back down (so use a large mug).
  • When it’s done, the top and edges will be set like cake, but the bottom will still be gooey.
  • Let it sit for a minute or two to cool.
  • Eat right out of the mug or (much better), flip the cake over into a ramekin (or plate/bowl) if you want it gooey-side up.
  • Sprinkle more cinnamon on top, along with more sweetener (optional), and enjoy your apple pie protein mug cake!
