I use Bob's Red Mill Natural Organic Coconut Flour. I got mine from Fresh Market but I'm sure you can get it at Whole Food's as well. If not you can always order it online.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT FLOUR:
- Low in carbs (Net carbs = 3g, take total carbs - dietary fiber, so 8 - 5 = 3g net carbs)
- High in fiber, 5g!!
- Gluten Free
Coconut Flour also has a lovely natural sweetness because it comes from dried coconut meat. Its such a light flour too, only 60 calories per 2 tablespoons. The is super nice because, when combined with a scoop to half a scoop of protein powder, it ends up making a very generous sized mug cake.
So here is the new Mug Cake Recipe!
**Use 1 tbs for 1/2 scoop protein powder
- 2 tbs coconut flour
- 1 scoop protein powder (flavor of your choice!)
- 6-7 tbs egg whites
- 2 tbs vanilla greek yogurt
Thats basically the base of the Mug Cake! You may want to add more/less egg whites and greek yogurt depended on the thickness of your batter. It shouldn't look firm like cookie dough, but it shouldn't be real runny either. Somewhere in that happy middle :) You can also substitute unsweetened vanilla almond milk for the greek yogurt or even cottage cheese or applesauce, and spice/sweeten things up by adding cinnamon, unsweetened coca powder, stevia, vanilla extract etc. to the batter. AND the best part is that this mug cake is 100% guilt free. High in protein + low in carbs = perfect night snack that tastes amazing too!
