What is the advantage of a protein cup cake from the microwave?

In short: many things! First of all, it is sugar-free and contains a large portion of protein. The high proportion of protein makes it interesting for all those who train regularly and want to tone their body. Since it does not contain flour and table sugar, it is comparatively low in calories.

Such mug cakes are optimal when you get the craving for sweets, but you do not want to reach for a chocolate, gummy bears or other snack. Mug Cake is just as suitable for afternoon coffee as it is in the evening after a workout.

You also don't need an oven and don't have to wait long for the cup cake with protein powder. Cake baking has never been done so quickly as in the microwave.

If you have a protein powder at home that doesn't really convince you in terms of taste, it can be turned into cake. Through ingredients like Cocoa powderThe powder loses a little of its flavor in the presence of *, vanilla, nuts and co. It's far too good to throw away.

Consistency

The dough of Mug Cakes with protein powder is always very soft and moist. When it comes very fresh from the micro, it literally melts in your mouth. Through the Baking powder* and the egg, it rises nicely and fills the cup well.

When you eat the cake, it is still warm inside. Simply dream. On cold days I drink a cocoa with it and feel like on cloud 7.

Simplicity

Why complicate things when they can be simple? This is true for the Fitness Cup Cake. All the ingredients go into a bowl and are mixed together. You don't need a mixer or any other kitchen tool. I mix the batter with a whisk until smooth, but you can also use a spoon or fork.

You don't need to turn on and preheat the oven for a cup cake with protein powder. All you need is the microwave. You don't need to grease the baking pan or make any other preparations.

The recipe is ready so quickly that even if you have a spontaneous desire for cake, you'll be happy to prepare the quick dough. No matter how stressful the day may have been - this fitness cupcake is always ready.

Taste

You can help the taste with any number of ingredients and refine the cake. From ripe bananas, fruits and nuts to sugar-free chocolate, everything is possible.

The two recipes presented have a wonderful coconut flavor.

What protein sources are in the Protein Mug Cake?

Five high-quality protein sources end up in the fitness cupcake. Low fat curd cheese, protein powder, milk, egg and Coconut flour* form the basis for the cake. Let's take a quick look at the protein distribution:

Low-fat curd cheese

Which is better? Low-fat quark or conventional quark? Athletes and those who want to lose weight like to use low-fat quark. It has a lower fat content and therefore fewer calories.

100 grams of low fat curd

• Calories: 66.7 kcal
• Fat: 0.3 g
• Protein: 12 g

100 gram curd

• Calories: 143.8 kcal
• Fat: 10.2 g
• Protein: 9.5 g

Protein powder

Depending on the manufacturer and variety, the nutritional values can vary greatly. Foodspring protein powder contains 76 g protein, 5.4 g fat and 5.4 g carbohydrates per 100 grams.

Tip: I always order my protein powder from Foodspring, because there are so many different flavors. If you are interested in the products, I can give you a Foodspring discount code give. With the code WGW15FS you get 15 % on your order!

Coconut flour

You will also find a very high percentage of protein in Coconut flour*. It is ideal for low carb and fitness cooking. In 100 grams Coconut flour* contains 19.3 g of protein.

In addition, it provides a very delicious aroma. You can imagine it like finely ground coconut flakes. It tastes fruity and of course very strong coconut.

In total, a small cake thus comes to 22 grams of protein. More is hardly possible.

Coconut flour* by the way, you can use Almond flour* replace.

Bonus: In a single cup cake is 22 grams of protein due to the clever combination of the different proteins. This makes it a real protein bomb that saturates very well.

What you need to know before you microwave a Protein Mug Cake

It is really very important to me that you read these sentences. They will save you a lot of work and trouble.

Depending on the protein powder, the cake goes up a little more or less. As you can see, the chocolate cake stayed comparatively well in the cup. The vanilla mug cake, on the other hand, sloshed out of the cup after just a few seconds.

So you don't have to fret, I highly recommend putting a plate under the cup before you activate the microwave.

This will not prevent the dough from overflowing in some cases, but at least the whole microwave won't be dirty.

It is also worth taking an oversized cup and making provisions with it. Please do not fill the cup more than halfway with batter.

By the way: You can also eat cup cakes with protein powder warm. In fact, it tastes best lukewarm, because the flavor really comes to the fore. With conventional cake recipes, it can take quite a long time before you can take the first bite. I love fitness cup cakes because the amount of work is tremendously low and you can mix it up quickly even after stressful days. Just when you need it most.

Now you are spoiled for choice. Either super chocolaty or heavenly vanilla with coconut. Both taste amazing to me. Can you already see yourself sticking your spoon into the hot Mug Cake and feel your mouth watering? Let's not wait any longer, let's get started right away!

Important ingredients that you need for the recipe, I have picked out for you. You can find them on Amazon.

• Coconut blossom sugar*
• Coconut flour*
• Baking cocoa*

You are not so the chocotiger, but still want to treat yourself to a protein cup cake? Of course, it also works without chocolate powder.

Basically, you can use any protein powder. If you feel like it, even strawberry. However, vanilla and chocolate have proven themselves the most. If you like it particularly chocolaty, you should check out this Mug cake with liquid chocolate core look closely.

Can I freeze low carb cup cakes?

When you prepare a Protein Mug Cake, you usually do it fresh. But if you're craving sweets at work and don't want to eat unhealthy snacks, you can prepare the cake in the microwave at home, freeze it, and then take it to work.

If you decide to go for it, make a little room in the freezer. The Fitness Cup Cake freezes with the mold, making it super easy to transport. Plus, it looks half as good without the cup.

You can defrost it at room temperature, which is quite fast due to its small size. Do not put the frozen mold in the oven! This can cause the cup to crack. If you eat the cake at home, put it in the microwave and select "defrost".

I put the low carb cupcake, even if it is defrosted, very briefly in the microwave. So he is again fine fluffy warm. If you use chocolate pieces, these melt then also quickly again.

Do you already know the best plant-based protein sources?

How can I refine Protein Mug Cakes?

Not quite convinced yet? There is a wide range of recipes that you can use. However, the great advantage of the presented cup cakes with protein powder is that you can adapt them to your taste with very few steps.

You can use any protein powder. From strawberry and caramel to raspberry and vanilla, there is a huge selection of protein powders. Just make sure there is no added sugar. My favorite is nutty powders of all kinds. I've also had a coffee protein powder that was delicious as a cake.

You can replace the milk with plant milk or part of it with sparkling water - this will make the dough even fluffier. And the Egg can be replaced with applesauce.

You can pimp every single protein cake with fruit. Berries always go well.

Delicious ingredients

• Raspberries
• Strawberries
• Bananas - you can also use ripe bananas this way
• Blueberries
• Pears and apples
• Oatmeal
• Almond flour*
• Cinnamon*
• Cocoa
• Cardamom*
• Plant milk
• Vegetable yogurts
• Chopped or grated nuts
• Sugar free chocolate like Xucker chocolate drops*

Very tasty also tastes fruit puree to the Protein cake. How about homemade Applesauce or Pear porridge? Incredibly tasty and prepared in no time. So you always have healthy fruit puree at hand.

Delicious: Protein Porridge with chocolate!
