Calling all chocolate lovers and health enthusiasts! This isn't your average mugcake. This recipe delivers moist, delicious chocolatey goodness packed with protein to kickstart your day. Forget dry, chalky protein treats – this one is all about texture and flavor, thanks to some clever ingredient choices.
Key to Perfection:
- Skip the baked-in protein: Instead of compromising texture by adding protein powder directly to the batter, we create a separate "protein milk" topping. This preserves the powder's delicious flavor and adds extra moisture.
- Banana & Peanut Butter power: These natural binders keep the cake moist and contribute delightful taste combinations with the chocolate.
