Chocolate for breakfast, that maybe not what you come to think of first thing you wake up in the morning?! But what if you make it healthy and nutritious? Then it’s definitely a great idea. This chocolate mug cake is made with only a few key ingredients using chocolate protein powder, banana and oat flour as the base. The batter only takes two minutes to make and can be baked both using a microwave or in the oven. If using the microwave it is ready to serve in only three minutes or in 10-15 from the oven. It is perfect to make if you want something healthy, nutritious, delicious and easy at the same time. I served my mug cake with vegan Greek yogurt, blueberries and pistachio nuts.

A few tips:
- Make sure to use a ripe banana that is soft and mushy.
- The amount of xylitol can be adjusted according to taste, and will also depend on how sweet your protein powder is.
- You can sub the protein powder for cacao powder and some additional sweetener if preferred. But you might need less cacao powder in that case.
- Bake the mug cake on highest power in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (depending on how fudgy you prefer your cake) or bake it on 200 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes.
