This recipe is ridiculously easy, gluten free, low carb, low calorie, high fiber. & high protein WITHOUT using protein powder. Personally I love to use protein powder in recipes but I know some of you don’t like it or use it regularly so this recipe is just for you ;). This takes less than 3 minutes (including stirring time) & is super filling because it is packed with protein and fiber yay!! By the way it also tastes awesome and rich (excuse me while I pat myself on the back hahaha!). Now get to cooking this because your belly will thank you!
You can make the smaller version (mug size) or jumbo version (bowl size). I will put the mug amounts so just double all listed ingredients to make a jumbo version 😉
ingredients:
*2-3 teaspoons stevia or another zero calorie sweetener (add more if you prefer)
*1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
*1/4 teaspoon baking powder
*1 tablespoon coconut flour (measure carefully)
*1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond, sunflower, soy nut butter, etc-I used 1/2 of a preportioned packet as you can see in picture-if you use a different brand the stats I show may be slightly different-try to use a lower sugar one though)
*3 tablespoons liquid egg whites
*tiny pinch salt (not shown)
Spray mug or bowl with nonstick spray so it won’t stick later. Add everything listed to mug or bowl except the peanut butter. Whisk until combined. It should be a nice thick batter.
Cook in microwave for 45 seconds or so for small version. Cook slightly longer (maybe up to 1 minute 30 seconds but check it frequently) for the bigger version. It is much better to have it undercooked than overcooked. Do not overcook or it will be really dry!!! Once it feels slightly firm on the top edges it is done! It should be super moist & molten looking in the middle (undercooked)-not super dry looking FYI! You can usually smell that delicious baked cake smell right about the time it’s ready too so that’s another hint to pull it out & check to see if it is done. Once you make it a few times you will find the perfect timing for your microwave 😉
Remove from microwave & cool for a minute or so. Run a butter knife along edge of mug or bowl and then flip cake out onto another plate. Top with peanut butter (& a sprinkle of cocoa powder if you want). The warm cake will cause the peanut butter to get all gooey and melty. Mix up the super moist center & melted peanut butter with the outer edges of it when you eat it to create the perfect bite. So delish!
