Ingredients

1. 1 Egg
2. 1 Serve of Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder (30 – 40g)
3. 1/2 Teaspoon bicarb soda
4. 1 Tablespoon natural pure peanut butter (I used Mayvers Protein Peanut Butter)
5. 1 Tablespoon milk (any you prefer)
6. 1 Teaspoon unsweetened Cacao or Coco
7. Coconut or Olive oil spray for mug

Instructions

1. Spray your mug with the oil.
2. Add all the ingredients into the mug.
3. Mix with a fork until all ingredients completely combined.
4. If necessary, you may need to add a little more milk to ensure mixture is a little thicker than pancake batter.
5. Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute. (may vary depending on power of unit)

Notes

1. I like to under cook mine a little. The top will be like a cake, and the bottom is like a sauce the scoop back onto the cake to make it a little moister.

The recipe I used has the following nutritional breakdown

1. 337 Calories
2. 43.8g Protein
3. 6.2g Carbohydrates
4. 11.6g Fat

Mayver’s Protein+ Peanut Butter

You can vary your recipe by perhaps sticking to the vanilla protein powder, omit the cacoa and replace it with the juice and rind of 1 small lemon.  MMM I think I will try that today and keep you posted.
