Ingredients for Fudgy Protein Banana Pudding Cake

This single serve fudgy protein banana pudding cake is made with a few simple and healthy ingredients, and has no flour, butter or oil and no sugar either! 

• Mashed Banana
• Vanilla Protein Powder for healthy, whey protein protein mug cake that’s also sugar free. I used Quest Nutrition Vanilla Milkshake whey-caesin protein powder for this mug cake.
• Unflavored Protein Powder for just some extra protein. I used a whey-caesin blend from Quest Nutrition.
• Coconut Flour for a low carb protein mug cake
• Egg Whites for extra protein
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Baking Powder

For the true banana pudding mug cake part:

• Banana flavored Instant Pudding Mix: I used this sugar free and fat free one from Jello
• Vanilla Wafers; I used these keto friendly and sugar free vanilla wafers from High Key

If you need to add more sweetness, Stevia Powder or Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute; I use Lakanto, to keep keto cinnamon mug cake sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too)

Tips to make Banana Protein Mug Cake

This fudgy flourless banana protein mug cake really is a simple one and made in a mug or ramekin, but make sure you do all of this stuff to get is perfect.

• Grease the ramekin! You want the banana pudding mug cake to come off easily.
  Use an oven-safe mug if you need.

• Use completely ripe/overripe banana since it is more sweet, and will also mash better.

• Don’t over-mix the batter!
  Make sure you gently stir the wet and dry to combine them.
  If you over-mix it, protein powder will make your protein mug cake tough, dense and gummy.

• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter.

• Don’t overbake the mug cake. The top will should be just cooked. It might look soft, but will harden when it cools a bit.
  It will continue to cook when out, and you want the proper fudgy center.
