- 1 Egg
- 1 Serve of Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder (30 – 40g)
- 1/2 Teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1 Tablespoon natural pure peanut butter (I used Mayvers Protein Peanut Butter)
- 1 Tablespoon milk (any you prefer)
- 1 Teaspoon unsweetened Cacao or Coco
- Coconut or Olive oil spray for mug
- Spray your mug with the oil.
- Add all the ingredients into the mug.
- Mix with a fork until all ingredients completely combined.
- If necessary, you may need to add a little more milk to ensure mixture is a little thicker than pancake batter.
- Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute. (may vary depending on power of unit)
- I like to under cook mine a little. The top will be like a cake, and the bottom is like a sauce the scoop back onto the cake to make it a little moister.

You can vary your recipe by perhaps sticking to the vanilla protein powder, omit the cacoa and replace it with the juice and rind of 1 small lemon. MMM I think I will try that today and keep you posted.
