Equipment
- 1 mug
Ingredients
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (about 2 tablespoons)
- ⅓ cup oat milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Sprinkles or mix-ins of choice
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, add the flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Add the oat milk and vanilla extract directly into the mug. Stir until smooth and no dry pockets remain. Fold in sprinkles or any desired mix-ins.
- Microwave for 60–90 seconds, depending on your microwave, until the center is set but still soft.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes before eating — it will continue to firm up slightly.
- Enjoy straight from the mug or top with extra sprinkles, nut butter, or dairy-free yogurt.
