Banana Bread Protein Mug Cake
This is my last "banana" themed post for this month and this recipe is a great transition for what I want to do next month: mug cakes.
As someone who is trying to be more healthy and is trying to transition to a vegan lifestyle, it can be hard to find something simple, like a mug cake, that fits into what I am trying to do. I went out for a run last night and wanted to eat some protein afterwards to help start the muscle-repair process; the only problem was that all the recipes I could find for a protein cake wanted me to use eggs.
As a college student, mug cakes are the way to go. It makes one serving, so I am not trying to resist a whole batch, and as an introvert, it keeps me out of the dorm kitchen as long as I have a microwave. They only take a few minutes to mix up, and one to two minutes to cook. I hope you enjoy what I have created for you, and if you are a vegan looking for protein, I hope this really helps!
You will need:
1 scoop of Trader Darwin's Soy Protein Powder (or another favorite brand)
1 tablespoon Dry Oatmeal
4 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/3 to 1/2 a Banana
Add-ins:
Vegan chocolate chips
Cinnamon
Chopped Nuts
1. Combine the protein powder and oatmeal in a coffee mug.
2. Cut up and mash in the banana.
3. Add in the almond milk and stir until it looks like batter.
4. Add-in additional toppings.
5. Microwave for 1:30 to 2 minutes.
6. Wait a minute because it will be hot, then top with other toppings, like peanut butter.
7. Enjoy your after-workout treat!
