Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons light cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon powdered sweetener or sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug at least 10 fluid ounces, combine vanilla protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sweetener, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  2. Add milk, egg white, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir continuously until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the sugar is fully incorporated.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture onto the cake batter. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  5. Microwave on high power for 60 to 90 seconds until the cake is just set. The center should appear cooked but remain slightly moist. Avoid overcooking.
  6. While the cake cools slightly, beat together softened cream cheese, milk, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  7. Spread the cream cheese topping over the warm mug cake and serve immediately while still warm.
