I found these on a blog and I fell in love tonight!!!

1/2 scoop cocoa protein powder (appx. 1.5 tbsp)
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar or whatever sweetener you like
1 egg white
1 tbsp applesauce or pumpkin

Mix the first 4 ingredients in a coffee mug - mix in the egg white and pumpkin. Stir until the batter is thick.

Microwave for 1 minute, loosen cake with knife around edges, and flip mug over plate to gently release it.

Cut the cake in half and top it with your favorite spread! I had mine with peanut butter, but you could do cream cheese, yogurt, etc.

Each cake has approximately 90 calories, 6 grams of fat, and about 10 grams protein! (without topping)

Enjoy! It's delicious!

    I have been making these all the time since you posted this!! :love: I calculated the nutritional info and added it to the database. It is based on the recipe using EAS 100% Whey Protein, No Sugar Added Applesauce, 2 Packets Splenda, and the other ingredients. Search "Microwaveable Protein Cupcakes" if you have been eating them as much as I have and don't feel like adding the ingredients separately to your diary.

    I tried this with Vanilla powder and put a little extra cocoa powder in, first time I have made this though so cannot compare to using chocolate protein powder. I found this very very dry, was thinking using the whole egg would make it moist but not sure if you could do this? I also used my homemade apple sauce which may not be as moist as other apple sauces.

    You definitely needed a topping on it to help it go down.

    BUT good for low calorie cupcake type treat. :-)

    Thank you for posting this! This is one of my new favorite foods. I have one everyday for breakfast. Slight modifications:

    *I used 1 tsp of sugar, which I found was plenty. (I try to avoid artificial sweeteners)
    *I added a Tbsp of Chia gel (made with chia seeds and water...search these forums for more info on chia seeds). The chia gel gave it more substance and they are very moist! Plus I get the added benefits of the chia seeds.
    *Because they're so moist, I don't need any sort of topping. I pretend I'm eating a brownie, and almost convince myself it's true.

    Easy, yummy, filling, and nutritious. :smile:

    Mine aren't dry at all. In fact, I put mine on a paper towel this morning after microwaving, and the paper towel was a bit wet when I took it off. It may be the chia gel that makes the difference (see my post above).
