How much calories is a mug cake?

There are 270 calories and 25 grams of protein per one mug cake. I doubled the ingredients for my oatmeal and got 3 mug cakes. This way I was able to make my oatmeal serving smaller with less calories. Now I can enjoy it as a high protein snack or have more variety by adding one more small meal to make it 500 or 600 calorie breakfast or lunch.

What will you need to make a healthy mug cake?

  • Old fashioned oats
  • PB2 – powdered peanut butter, for extra protein
  • Collagen Peptides – optional. If you want to increase the amount of protein is a great way. It only has 35 calories per scoop and 9 grams of protein.
  • Liquid egg whites – you can also separate egg yolks from egg whites and use yolks to make a custard (recipe in my angel food cake post)
  • Sugar free syrup – I mix Mrs Butterworth and Skinny syrups.
  • Monkfruit sweetener
  • Apples
  • Greek yogurt – I use non fat because it has less calories and more protein. There is no difference in flavor and it is worth to save some calories.
  • Baking essentials: baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon
