Equipment

Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder - Chocolate

Ingredients

3 tablespoons oat flour
2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

Stir together the oat flour, protein powder, cacao powder, coconut sugar and baking powder in a small mug or ramekin.
Pour in the almond milk and half the chocolate chips. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Top with remaining chocolate chips.
Microwave for 60 seconds on high power and then in :10 second intervals thereafter until the batter reaches the top of the mug or ramekin. This should at most take 80-90 seconds total depending on the power of your microwave.
Top with coarse salt if desired and a enjoy warm. A scoop of ice cream or dollop of nut butter are also delicious on top.

Notes

Every protein powder behaves differently when baking. I have not tested this with anything other than Paleo Valley's chocolate bone broth protein. You may have to adjust ingredients slightly depending on the protein powder you use.
