Pumpkin Spice Protein Mugcake

This pumpkin spice mugcake recipe is easy, quick and is super high in protein!

I can not believe how fast this year flew by, already making Fall inspired recipes. Feels like just yesterday we released the The Athlete’s Treat - Ebook!

Back to mugcake! This recipe is perfect for Breakfast, snack, and even a light dinner! It packs all the nutrients, and still remains low cal.

Ingredients (serves 1):

  1. 1 scoop Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla recommended)

  2. 30g Quick Oats

  3. 1 tsp Baking Powder

  4. 1.5 tsp Pumpkin Spice (Click here to make your own!)

  5. 1 tsp Stevia

  6. 1 tsp Chia Seeds

  7. Water to Mix

Instructions:

  • Add all ingredients together and mix in a mug.

  • Make sure you put water just enough to mix, not more, or else the blend will be watery.

  • Microwave for 30s-60s, keep an eye! The mugcake will rise, make sure it doesn’t explode :D

  • Put a toothpick through the middle of the mugcake, if it comes out clean, you’re done!

  • Add any toppings of choice! Since the base does not have any fat, and is pretty low carb, I would recommend some almonds, walnuts or pecans!

  • You can even top it with some 0 sugar whipped cream with granola for a crunch!
