Mug Cake
- 1/3 cup oats (old fashioned or quick)*
- 1 scoop XTEND PRO Cookie Butter flavored protein powder
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Cinnamon to taste
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 tbsp cookie butter (melted to make it easier to drizzle)
- 1 tbsp raspberry jam (or flavor of choice)
- 1-2 crushed Biscoff cookies (optional)
Notes
*You can also just use 1/4 cup pre-ground oat flour, or whole wheat flour.
Instructions
- Add all mug cake ingredients to a blender. Blend until a smooth batter is formed. Alternatively, you can grind the oats into a flour first, then mix in a bowl like you would any other batter.
- Spray a large, microwave safe mug with nonstick spray. Pour batter into mug. Microwave for 1 minute.
- Continue to microwave for 15 second intervals until done. It is best to leave it a little underdone to keep from drying out. Mine was done after about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Once cooked, drizzle melted cookie butter over the mug cake. Top with jam, crushed cookies, and enjoy!
