I had so many plans for my homemade cookie butter, but this mug cake was so addictive I ended up finishing all my stock on this without even realizing it.

Extra bonus points here too because it’s sweetened with protein powder so there’s no sugar!

This was my evening snack for 3-4 days straight, and even 1.5x the recipe on some.

Major mug cake recipe lesson here: When you size up the quantities, use a bigger mug!

The first time I did bigger size of this cookie butter spread mug cake, I kept the same size mug and just increased the microwave time. The cake did cook, but the batter overflowed and just made a mess.

Ingredients for Protein Cookie Butter Mug Cake

7 pantry staples is all you need for this homemade, biscoff or speculoos mug cake recipe!

• Cookie Butter! I use my homemade low-fat cookie butter recipe here, but you can also use the regular Biscoff butter spread or Speculoos cookie butter too.
• Vanilla Protein Powder to replace the sweetener and make a high protein biscoff mug cake. I use Quest vanilla protein powder for this recipe; It’s sweetened with stevia and makes these cookie butter protein balls sugar free too!
  
  If you want to admit the protein powder. you can use any other sweetener. For a sugar free one-on-one sweetener I recommend Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount).

• Flaxseed Meal or ground flaxseeds to make that flax egg
• Unsweetened Almond Milk – To keep it non-dairy and sugar free. Use a regular milk if you wish.
