Molten Chocolate Mug Cake Ingredients
- 1 ripe Banana (mashed)
- 2 tbsp. Almond Butter
- 2 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
- 3 tbsp. Milk
- 1 tbsp. Protein Spread (Chocolate Hazelnut)
Method
- Add the mashed banana, almond butter, cocoa powder and milk to a large microwave-safe mug and stir well with a fork until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Then, add a generous dollop of Protein Spread on top of the mixture in the centre. You don’t need to push it down, it will sink as it bakes.
- Place your mug into the microwave and microwave for 90 seconds at 800 watts. Timing may vary according to your microwave, so we recommend keeping an eye on the mug cake throughout — it should rise, but if it starts to bubble over the rim of the mug then stop the microwave and let it stand for a few seconds. The edges should look set but the surface of the centre should look slightly wet and shiny.
- Remove from the microwave and let cool for at least two or three minutes before eating. Be careful about the liquid centre — this molten chocolate mug cake will be extremely hot inside! If you’re feeling extra, then why not add a sprinkle of icing sugar and a couple of berries like we have.
