Ingredients
- 30 g Collagen Powder (2 x 15ml scoops) (or Protein Powders)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Maple Syrup
- Baking Powder
- 4 tbsp Peanut Butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 2 tbsp Ground Almonds (or almond flour)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)
How to make a high protein mug cake
Add all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) into a mug or large teacup and mix with a fork until smooth. Sprinkle with some chocolate chips.
Place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Why Collagen Rather Than Protein Powder
Collage powder has more protein than your usual protein powder while also promoting gut health, supporting joint function, and giving you that beauty-boosting collagen your body craves.
I personally use this collagen powder that I get delivered monthly through Amazon’s subscription service – it even has added vitamin C for enhanced absorption. After trying several brands, this one consistently delivers the best results and taste. You can check it out here.
Serving Suggestions
Eat this on its own or add a dollop of custard for a indulgent dessert.
