Karina Arnold found this recipe on Pinterest and changed some of the ingredients to add protein. Karina recommends enjoying with Halo Top ice cream, which is another great source for protein and carbs.
¼ cup flour (can use coconut flour for gluten-free)
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder (Karina used chocolate protein powder)
¼ tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar (Karina used coconut sugar; brown sugar also works)
1/8 tsp. salt
¼ milk (Karina used almond milk; a protein milk also works)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. Nutella (Karina used a protein “fluff-butter” from GNC)
Non-stick spray or butter
14 oz. microwave-safe mug
In a small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Then, whisk milk and vegetable oil until batter has no clumps. Coat the mug with a non-stick spray or butter, then pour batter. Leave about 1 inch on space between batter and the rim of the mug. Plop 1 Tbsp. chocolate spread in the middle of the batter and let it sink. Microwave for 60-70 seconds on high.
Top with powdered sugar, cookies or any other toppings of choice and enjoy!
