30 Second Fudgy Protein Brownie Mug Cake Recipe {Gluten & Grain Free}

I love this recipe. It’s the first mug cake that actually delivers on taste and doesn’t pack the pounds! I calculated the calories and it was only about 169 calories, 22 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and only 2 grams of sugar! I used coconut milk this time and it worked great. I’ve tried other recipes and ended up eating double the calories. So, thanks for the recipe.

I love this recipe! Tastes amazing. I used 1/4 cup of water instead of milk and it still tasted amazing.

Did I really read 15 tablespoons of cocoa?? How does that only result in 5 g of fat??

I was sceptical as I had never made a mug cake before and this doesn’t involve any eggs, but nevertheless, I used water as seen in a comment above and WOW!! if you time it perfectly in the microwave it is genuinely a melt in the middle lava cake! I’ve just made my second, honesty amazing! Definitely making my family try this because they think that all healthy protein cake recipes are yucky!

O.M.G.!!! Best mugcake ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

LOVE this recipe! I have been experimenting with making the perfect mug cake for a while, and this one is my favorite! Thank you for a great recipe :)

I tried making a protein mug cake once and it was basically a dried, old dish sponge and it was AWFUL! I tried this mug cake cause post dinner cravings and oh my goodness, this was so good!
I made one serving at the start, finished it in like a second and made a second smaller cake but still just at amazing! I used coconut sugar instead but regardless, go to dessert!!!

Thanks for the recipe! Do you think it would be okay to use rolled oats flour instead of coconut flour? I don’t bake too much so I don’t want to buy a whole bag. I already have lots of oats so that would be ideal!

Thanks again :)

This recipe has just made my life!!! Soooo delicious!! To answer the question of a previous post, yes oat flour should work…all I had was oatmeal and I ground it down (thanks for the suggestion lol) so good!!!

How many carbs are in this?

So I just tried this tonight. First time using Stevia. I did 5 drops, will use more next time. But it started to boil over at 28 seconds, and my texture was crumbly and not stuck together. What did I do wrong?

I never ever usually bother posting comments about recipes, but this was amazing! So simple, doesn’t require loads of ingredients.. and most of all, tastes amazing! Thank you so much :)

This is honestly the best mug cake recipie I’ve ever had. And so simple! Thank you so much!!

what do you think cook time would be in a toaster oven? We don’t have a microwave.

I don’t use microwaves for anything so has anyone made these in the oven and if so how long did you bake them and at what temp?

I’m sorry, this recipe made me feel sick to be honest :/

I found I had to double the almond milk just to get everything to mix. Perhaps I just have a larger scoop of protein, or the fact that it’s vegan/plant-based may have made it thicker? Regardless, oooey gooey and delicious

I just made this. I had to add a little bit more fluid (about two tablespoons of water in addition to the 1/4 cup almond milk) and had to microwave for a full minute but oh my this is absolutely DELICIOUS. Thank you so much!

This recipe was soooo good! I’ve been on a ketosis diet for several weeks and it’s just what I needed to “cheat” and stay on plan.

I used quest protein powder because that’s what I had on hand. Decided to only use 1/2 tsp of cocoa (because of the carb count), subbed water for almond milk and used 1 packet of stevia. Yummy!!

Ok, I usually never leave comments but this recipe is amazing! I’ve been craving something sweet on my diet, so this totally saved me!! It’s really yummy! Thanks for sharing!!

Just made this , moist and delicious , thanks 😍

This was soooo good! I used Fitmiss Delight Protein Powder & didn’t even need to use Stevia!! So yummy & tasted like real cake. Now I know how I will be curing my sweet tooth while still staying in my macros. Thanks!

I tried this and it never got Cakey. Not sure what I am doing wrong

Had to put mine in a bowl as it overflowed and had to cook longer but end product has def hit the spot !!

Pretty tasty! I used 2 tsp. Hazelnut flour and 1 tsp. Coconut flour. I also dropped in about 20 semi sweet mini chips and a couple tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes. No additional sweetener besides what was already present in my protein piwder. Cooked perfectly and was an awesome alternative to yet another protein shake! Thanks!

I added in 10g chopped walnuts (crunch) 20g frozen blueberries (moisture) and a heaped teaspoon of instant coffee….AMAZING!!

This is delicious! I’ve been searching for a good protein mug cake that doesn’t use eggs for ages. I accidentally overcooked mine and it went a bit dry, but still tasted amazing! I’ll do better tomorrow night! Best mug cake recipe ever, thank you so much!

This did not work for me! It is grainy and dry. Wonder what happened? The reviews looked amazing.

Best mug cake ever. Did it for almond flour and it was just fine!
My whey protein is milk chocolate, it is delicious. I force Nutrition. !!!!
My new afternoon addiction. :)
Thank for the recipe

Best protein mug cake recipe I have tried so far! I added a couple little caramel bites as well.

Just tried this and OMG delicious. I used whole wheat flour instead because it is what I have on hand and since there is flavor to my protein powder (I use Muscle Milk vanilla & only half a scoop since their scoop is huge). After baking it in the microwave, I stirred in a heaping spoonful of PB to make a chocolate PB mug brownie & up my protein count. Mmmmm thanks for the recipe!

Great macros and pretty tasty with good texture – not weird and rubbery like others I’ve tried.
Made as directed, though I added too much liquid stevia (1st tiny squeeze wasn’t enough, 2nd was WAY too much).

I’m not a review leaver but holy smokes…this little mug of amazingness gets two thumbs up! Used quest chocolate protein powder, and followed directions precisely. I was skeptical of the 30 second cook time, but turned out PERFECT! This is a game changer for my keto life!! THANK YOU!!!! Simply amazing!! Xoxox
