Strawberry MugCake Recipe from Food, Faith and Fitness- This easy Strawberry MugCake Recipe comes together in two minutes and is healthy, whole wheat, protein packed and SO fluffy
Now that I’ve started hitting up the gym again (aka lying on the bench press and scrolling Instagram), I’ve come to fall back into some nutritional habits, like eating something with some protein post workout
Even if your not on a low carb or higher protein diet, it doesn’t discriminate. A super fluffy and moist vanilla mugcake which packs a protein punch and is low carb- It’s also ready in under a minute
However, not all mugcakes or microwave cakes are created equal and over time, I played around with different flours, liquids and even add ins to create delicious variations- All healthy, all delicious and all tasting like an actual cake…not a hockey puck
AND BEST PART, no more feeling guilty about dessert when it’s this high in protein and low in carbs This is so healthy, it can even be breakfast if you’re in a sweet mood
“Not only would it be uncomfortable, you’d look like one of mum’s Persian carpets. In a separate small bowl, combine the dairy free milk with the egg white (or flax egg) and whisk lightly
Notes * I omitted the sweetener as my protein powder was sweetened For the vegan option, you won't need any flax eggs/egg substitute- Simply omit and slowly add milk of choice until a thick batter is formed
Notes * I omitted the sweetener as my protein powder was sweetened ** Depending on the protein powder/coconut flour used, you may need more milk- Adjust accordingly For the vegan option, you won't need any flax eggs/egg substitute- Simply omit and slowly add milk of choice until a thick batter is formed
Unlike many of my other recipes, I omitted protein powder from both the base and the glaze. For such a fluffy yet tender cake, you’d be surprised that this mugcake contains no butter, oil, grains, sugar or dairy
People are always looking for “healthy” or “Paleo” treats and cheats so I decided to modify a not so healthy microwaveable treat and come up with this bad boy
Have a favorite mugcake recipe or other healthy dessert. To make this cake healthier, there is whole wheat flour, no added fat (besides that of the chips), and there’s a protein bonus
