Quick & Easy Protein Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
  
  

• 3 tablespoons of oat flour or whole wheat flour
  
  

• 1/4 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
  
  

• 1 egg
  
  

• 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
  
  

• 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
  
  

• A dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional)
  
  

• A few drops of vanilla extract
  
  

How to Make It:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re short on time, you can also make this in the microwave.
   
   

2. Mix the wet ingredients — in a bowl, whisk the egg, milk, honey, and vanilla together.
   
   

3. Add the dry ingredients — stir in the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon (or cocoa) until smooth.
   
   

4. Pour the batter into a small greased baking dish or mug.
   
   

5. Bake for 15–20 minutes (or microwave for 1–2 minutes). The cake should rise and become firm but soft inside.
   
   

6. Let it cool slightly and enjoy as is — or top with yogurt, peanut butter, or berries for extra flavor.
   
   

Fun Flavor Ideas

• Chocolate Almond: Use chocolate protein powder and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  
  

• Vanilla Berry: Add vanilla protein and a handful of fresh or frozen berries.
  
  

• Cinnamon Roll: Use vanilla protein with a pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of low-fat cream cheese icing.
  
  

Pro Tips for Perfect Protein Cakes

• Don’t overmix the batter — it can make the cake dense.
  
  

• If your protein powder is sweetened, reduce the honey or syrup.
  
  

• To make it vegan, use a flax egg and plant-based protein powder.
  
  

• For extra moisture, mix in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or mashed banana.
