What Makes These Mug Cakes Different
The problem with most protein desserts is that they taste like protein desserts. Macro Mike built these around Australian-grown faba bean protein, which mixes smooth rather than chalky and holds a soft, cake-like crumb once it hits the heat. There's no whey and no dairy, so there's none of the lactose that leaves a lot of people uncomfortable after something rich.
Faba bean also means no nuts in the formula – worth knowing if you've had to skip most of the plant protein category because it's built on almonds or peanuts.
Sweetness comes from coconut nectar with a natural blend of monk fruit and stevia rather than refined sugar, and cocoa and raw cacao carry the chocolate base. The dairy-free choc chips are folded through whole, so they melt into pockets rather than disappearing into the batter.
The pre-portioned sachets are the practical part. Each one is a complete serve, so there's no weighing, no half-used bag going stale in the pantry, and nothing stopping you throwing a couple in a bag for work or travel.
Double Choc Fudge
Rich and fudgy, heavy on the cocoa, with dairy-free choc chips melting through it. 187 calories and 13 g of protein per serve.
Caramelised Choc Honeycomb
The same chocolate base with caramelised honeycomb flavour layered over it, for something closer to a caramel slice than a brownie. 186 calories and 13.1 g of protein per serve.
Nutritional values are based on the dry mix and will vary with your choice of plant milk.
How To Use
Pour one sachet into your favourite mug. Add 50–60 ml of plant-based milk and mix until fully dissolved. Microwave on high for 45–60 seconds, then allow it to cool for a few minutes – it comes out hot. Eat straight from the mug.
Almond, oat, soy and coconut milk all work. Almond or coconut give the richest result.
Stir through extra choc chips or nuts before microwaving, or top with dairy-free ice cream, yoghurt, fresh fruit or nut butter. If you'd rather not microwave it, bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 8–10 minutes, or use an air fryer for a crisper top and a soft centre.
Stacks Well With
Half a scoop of Macro Mike Peanut Plant Protein stirred in before microwaving turns either flavour into a peanut butter cup version and pushes the serve past 25 g of protein.
Servings: 6 sachets per bag (50 g each)
