I’m sure all of you are not new to the novel idea of a mud cake. However, this was my first time ever making one and I am in love! This recipe for Kodiak Chocolate Mug Cake is a combination of dessert and breakfast. Really, I could eat this cake anytime of day and fell very little guilt about it. It’s filled with loads of protein to help keep you nice and full for hours and stop those chocolate cravings.
Sometimes I am just craving a sweet, chocolatey treat without all the fat and calories. It’s nice to have a quick option that is literally done in one minute. It’s awesome. I added some Nutella and Almond Butter for an even better, richer tasting twist. This recipe kind of reminds me of our Triple Chocolate Protein Pancakes from a few years ago. Those pancakes are also a fave!

Triple Chocolate Protein Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Kodiak Pancake Mix
- 1/3 cup + 1 Tbs. chocolate almond milk
- 2-3 Tbs. milk or semi chocolate chips
- 1 Tbs. Nutella Hazelnut Spread
- 1 Tbs. Almond Butter
- 1 Tbs. chocolate protein powder
- 1 tsp. cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bottom of a regular sized, ceramic mug add all of the dry ingredients. Add the almond milk and stir. Take a spoonful of the Nutella and Almond Butter and spoon into the center of the batter. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips. Place in the microwave for 1 minute. Don't over cook. The cake will bubble up just a little bit and that's okay. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you wish. Or, drizzle with extra Nutella (or Maple Syrup) for a little extra sweetness. Serve warm.
