Chocolate Chip Muffin in a Mug
An easy single-serving Chocolate Chip Muffin in a Mug made with protein pancake mix and chocolate chips. Mix it right in the mug and microwave for about 1½ minutes for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup protein pancake mix
- 3 Tbsp milk (or milk alternative or water)
- 1 tsp oil (coconut, avocado, or vegetable)
- 1 Tbsp syrup (maple, pancake, or sugar free)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp chocolate chips (plus a little more)
Instructions
- Begin by adding the pancake mix to a microwave safe mug. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Add the wet ingredients to the mug and whisk or stir with a fork. Sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top.
- Microwave for about 1 ½ minutes being careful as the mug can get hot. Enjoy as is or top with more syrup or whipped cream.
Notes
- Pancake mix: Any protein pancake mix should work. We’ve tested this recipe with Kodiak Cakes and Krusteaz. Krusteaz is closer to traditional pancake mix, while Kodiak has more of a whole-grain flavor.
- Prevent sticking: Lightly grease the mug with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray before adding the batter.
- Microwave time: We cook ours for 1½ minutes in a 900-watt microwave. Microwave power varies, so adjust the time as needed. The center should be set and spring back lightly when touched.
