Ingredients

  • 1 scoop Vital Proteins Collage Peptides
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbs cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 egg room temp
  • 3 Tbs melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbs Whole Milk
  • 1 ounce chocolate
  • 1 Tbs water

Instructions

  • Find a large mug.
  • Mix dry ingredients together in it. (Flour, sugar, salt, protein, salt)
  • Add egg, melted butter, vanilla, and milk, and mix together, scrape the edges to make sure it is well incorporated.
  • Put chocolate on top, don't push it in, it will sink
  • Add a TBS of water
  • Microwave for 1 min 20 second- 2 minutes, until top is springy to the touch, but still slightly wet.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Every microwave is different, start by cooking it for 1 min 20 seconds, test the top (shouldn't have much water) and add more time in 10-15 second increments until done.
If you don't want to eat it in the mug, spray the mug with no-stick spray, and mix everything in a bowl instead of in the mug. Then after cooking, tip over onto a plate.
Garnish with whipped cream and berries!
