Description
A deliciously easy high-protein cinnamon roll mug cake that is quick to prepare and perfect for a single serving treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1/2 tablespoon powdered sweetener or sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug at least 10 fluid ounces, combine vanilla protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sweetener, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Add milk, egg white, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the sugar is fully incorporated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture onto the cake batter. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Microwave on high power for 60 to 90 seconds until the cake is just set. The center should appear cooked but remain slightly moist. Avoid overcooking.
- While the cake cools slightly, beat together softened cream cheese, milk, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Spread the cream cheese topping over the warm mug cake and serve immediately while still warm.
Notes
- Make sure the mug is microwave-safe and large enough to prevent overflow.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener based on your preference.
- The cake is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
