Ingredients
- ½ banana, mashed
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- ¼ tsp coconut oil, melted
- ½ serving Chocolate Vega Sport® Performance Protein
- 2 Tbsp gluten-free flour (such as oat flour, quinoa flour or brown rice flour)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of sea salt
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, coconut or hemp)
- ¼ bar dark chocolate, chopped (optional)
- Sweetener of your choice such as maple syrup, stevia or agave (optional)
Preparation
-
In an oven safe mug, combine mashed banana, peanut butter and coconut oil until well combined.
-
Mix in protein, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
-
Add in milk, chopped dark chocolate (if using), and sweetener (if using), mixing all ingredients together until well combined. If batter is too dry add a little more almond milk, alternatively, if mixture is too wet add in more gluten-free flour.
-
Microwave Method: Microwave mug for 1 and half minutes. Check consistency, if not baked enough cook for another 30 seconds at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
-
Oven Method: Bake in a preheat oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until desired texture.
-
A note from Morgan: Sometimes I bake this a little less to get a lava cake-like consistency. Firm on the outside but piping hot and melty on the inside.
