Method

1. Required equipment: One microwave-safe mug, a fork, and a teaspoon.

   

2. Add the ground oats, protein powder, cocoa, baking powder, and sweetener to the mug.

   

3. Stir the dry ingredients gently with the tip of your fork to combine them.

   

4. Crack the egg into the mug and pour in the milk.

   

5. Use the fork to whisk the mixture for about 1 minute until it is completely smooth and fluid.

   

6. Scrape any residue from the sides of the mug into the center using the fork.

   

7. Place the mug in the very center of the microwave oven.

   

8. Set the microwave to 700W power and run it for 90 seconds.

   

9. Touch the surface of the cake lightly with your finger; if it doesn't stick, it is cooked.

   

10. If it still looks wet, add another 30 seconds of cooking time.

    

11. Remove the mug from the microwave and let it rest at room temperature for 2 minutes to set the texture.
