Protein Birthday Mug Cake
Makes 1 Serving. Each Serving: 195 Calories; 6C/27P/7F - 1 Fibre
Ingredients
- 1 Scoop (28g) Vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp (8g) All purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp (28g) Plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
-

Microwave for 45-60 seconds. The size of your bowl/mug will affect cook time. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get rubbery.
Cinnamon Roll in a Mug
Makes 1 Serving. Each Serving: 265 Calories; 35C/9P/10F - 2 Fibre
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup (60g) Bisquick
- 1/4 Cup (56g) Plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Truvia
Sugar Free Glaze
- 2 tbsp (18g) Swerve confectioners or a powdered sugar substitute
- 1/2 tbsp water
Instructions
-
Mix the Bisquick and Greek yogurt together in a bowl, stirring until you can form one ball of dough.
-
Use your hands to press the dough as flat as possible. For best results, use a rolling pin or the backside of a rubber spatula to get the dough as thin as possible.
-
Microwave the butter for 5-10 seconds until melted before stirring in the cinnamon and sweetener. Spread the mixture over the center of the dough.
-
Roll the cinnamon roll dough lengthwise before cutting the roll in half. (If you rolled your dough in a long thin rectangle, you may not need to cut the dough.)
-
Place the rolls in a small mug, cut side up. (If you'd like to coat the outside of the cinnamon roll, you can roll them in more cinnamon/sweetener or gently rub any remaining cinnamon sugar spread on the outside before microwaving.)
-
Microwave for 90-120 seconds or until the cinnamon rolls are cooked in the center.
-
While the cinnamon rolls cook, mix the powdered sugar substitute with water and stir until smooth. Add the glaze to the cinnamon rolls when they're done cooking. Enjoy!
