What’s A Banana Protein Mug Cake?
A banana protein mug cake is a variation of my healthy mug cake. It tastes like banana bread, but it’s packed with proteins and nutrients.
This banana protein mug cake is naturally:
- Walang itlog
- Vegan
- Dairy-free
- Gluten-free option provided
Ingredients at Substitutions
It’s super easy to make a mug cake with banana and protein powder. All you need are a few ingredients:
- Minasang Saging – It doesn’t have to be a ripe banana. Yellow bananas work as well, but the mug cake would simply be less sweet.
- Pulbos ng Protina ng Banilya – You can use any vanilla protein powder you love. We didn’t test the recipe with whey protein powder, only plant-based protein powder like pea, almond, or peanut protein powder.
- Gatas na Almond na Walang Tamis or any dairy-free milk you like including coconut milk or oat milk.
- Oat Flour – I don’t recommend using any other flour. All-purpose flour makes the mug cake very chewy and dense.
- Granulated na Pampatamis – feel free to use any sweetener you like. We used sugar-free erythritol. It’s a low-carb natural sweetener with no calories.
- Paghurno Powder – para sa kaunting pagtaas.
- Maitim na Tsokolate Chips – optional but delicious. Feel free to use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep the sugar content low.
How To Make Banana Protein Mug Cake
- First, select your favorite coffee mug to bake this recipe. It must be a tall large, microwave-safe mug. A standard 12-oz mug works the best.
- Then, peel and mash the bananas with a fork on a chopping board. I don’t think it’s easy to mash bananas in a narrow mug cake, so I recommend doing this aside.
- Measure the amount called by the recipe – it matters because too much banana makes the mug cake dense, gooey, and too moist.
- Then, place the mashed banana in the mug cake and stir with almond milk.
- Add the dry ingredients on top: oat flour, sweetener, baking powder, and stir to combine. The batter should resemble a cake batter.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chips if you feel like it.
- Place the coffee mug in the center of the microwave and microwave on 900W for 90 seconds or until the mug cake rises past the mug and the sides and center are cooked. If it’s still wet in the middle, return to the microwave in 10-second bursts until cooked through.
Opsyon sa Pagbe-bake
You can also bake mug cakes in the oven or air fryer. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Pour the mug cake batter into an oven-safe ramekin. The recipe won’t rise as much since ramekins are smaller but wider than coffee mugs.
Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.
Serving Mug Cake
Mug cakes are always better eaten within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, they dry out with time and don’t store very well. Always let them cool down for 1 minute before eating.
Then, you can serve this banana protein mug cake plain or with some extra toppings that bring out all its banana bread flavors.
Mga Mungkahi sa Paglalagay ng Toppings
The best toppings for this protein mug cake are:
- Chopped walnuts or pecan
- Isang patak ng peanut butter o almond butter
- A dollop of coconut yogurt
- Isang pakurot ng kanela
Mga Add-on
We love adding chocolate chips to this mug cake because chocolate and bananas are such a classic, delicious combo of flavors. But, feel free to try some other add-ons with less sugar or calories like:
- Fresh berries – raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries
- Ginutay-gutay na niyog
- kanela
- Pumpkin spices
Mga Madalas Itanong
Gawang-bahay na harina ng oat provides the best texture in this recipe. If you swap it, the texture will be different. For a gluten-free low-carb option, try replacing the 3 tablespoons of oat flour with 2 tablespoons of coconut flour.
You can, but the texture will be much moister, and it will take longer to cook. The best is to use only 1-2 teaspoons of liquid sweetener to avoid changing the consistency too much.
You can replace the bananas with applesauce, mashed sweet potato puree, or homemade na kalabasang puree.
Sure, but don’t add more than 1 teaspoon, or the texture will be dry. Otherwise, try my keyk na may pulbos na protina that is full of chocolate.

Note that the longer you microwave the mug cake, the denser it will be.

I made it this morning but subbed pumpkin puree for the banana. So delicious !
That’s such a great idea! I want to try it too now:) thanks for sharing with me.
So delicious! Works with gluten free all purpose flour!
I swapped almond flour for the oat flour. I followed the rest of the ingredients but it didn’t rise and stayed batter consistency. I continued to add time to see if that helped. Any ideas why this happened?
Yes, you swapped oat flour for almond flour which is why your batter doesn’t firm up at all. Oat flour has lots of fiber that soak up liquid in recipes and firm up batter. Almond flour on the other side is high in fat, low in fiber, it adds moisture but it won’t bind ingredient in a liquid batter like muffins, cakes or mug cake, unless you add a binder like husk, starchy flour – tapioca flour, cornstarch. So keep in mind for next time that you can never swap oat flour for almond flour! they are not the same and they don’t act the same in a recipe.
I added walnuts, as well. It’s very good!!
The metrics are wrong (48gr protein powder but I think also the milk …). Is it possible to correct them please?
Woooops, sorry about that, it’s fixed!
So yummy!! I did a couple of swaps for the type of flour and blueberries for chocolate chips. I left out the sugar since my vanilla protein powder is already sweetened with monk fruit. Cooked perfectly in the microwave and was delicious!!
Pretty good! I skipped the sweeteners and gave it a maple syrup drizzle after instead and was a great treat, need to calculate the macros with my own ingredients though.
This was awesome. Thanks so much.
Thank you ! Worked perfectly ! Made the dry mix before I traveled and was very helpful
