3 tablespoons almond milk or milk of choice
1 teaspoon avocado oil or neutral oil of choice - (plus more for greasing the mug)
½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons chocolate whey protein powder
3 tablespoons oat flour
1 tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips - (plus more for sprinkling on top)

Whisk all of the ingredients for the cake batter in a small bowl. Make sure there are no lumps.
Next, stir in chocolate chips.
Grease a small mug (I used a cappuccino cup.) or ramekin and pour the cake batter into the mug.
Microwave for 50-60 seconds until springy to the touch. (The cook time may vary depending on the power of your microwave.) It's so easy to overcook a mug cake! You don't want rubbery cake. Check your cake starting at 50 seconds. If it needs more time, you can always toss it back into the microwave.
Add a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips on top and enjoy!
