90-Second High-Protein Chocolate Mug Cake

Can you make a high-protein mug cake in the microwave? Absolutely. Mix a scoop of chocolate PEScience Select Protein with PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter, a little baking powder and milk, microwave for 90 seconds, and you have a warm, gooey chocolate mug cake with 25 g+ of protein — no oven, no sugar crash.

This is the perfect post-workout or late-night snack. Every ingredient is in stock and ships same-day from Montreal.

Why you'll make this on repeat

• 90 seconds, one mug — no oven, minimal cleanup.
• High protein — PEScience Select Protein plus PB2 stacks the protein without extra fat.
• Sugar-free chocolate — Krisda Sugar-Free Chocolatey Chips melt into gooey pockets.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop PEScience Select Protein (Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup or Chocolate Truffle)
• 2 tbsp PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 4–6 tbsp (60–90 ml) milk or unsweetened plant milk
• 1 tbsp Krisda Sugar-Free Chocolatey Chips
• Optional: 1 tsp ChocZero Keto Spread, to finish

How to make it

1. Mix the dry. In a microwave-safe mug, stir together the protein, PB2 and baking powder.
2. Add liquid. Add milk a little at a time, stirring, until you have a smooth, pourable batter with no dry pockets.
3. Add chips. Fold in the Krisda chocolatey chips.
4. Microwave. Cook on high for 60–90 seconds, watching so it doesn't overflow. Stop as soon as the top is set — overcooking makes protein cakes rubbery.
5. Finish. Cool a minute, drizzle with ChocZero Keto Spread if using, and eat straight from the mug.

Pro tips

• Undercook slightly — protein powder keeps setting from residual heat, so a just-set centre stays moist.
• Different microwaves vary; start at 60 seconds and add 10-second bursts.
• Too dense? Add 1 extra tbsp milk next time. Too wet? Reduce the milk slightly.

Macros

Approximate macros per mug cake, made with unsweetened almond milk plus PEScience Select, PB2 and 1 tbsp Krisda Sugar-Free Chips. With dairy milk or the optional ChocZero Keto Spread drizzle, add a little more. Non-nutritive sweeteners and sugar alcohols are excluded.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my protein mug cake rubbery?

Overcooking is the usual cause. Protein sets fast, so pull it the moment the top is just firm and let residual heat finish it.

Can I make this without a microwave?

Yes — bake the batter in an oven-safe ramekin at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes, until just set.
