- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit, or sugar)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Swirl:

Optional Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener mixed with ½–1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- Main Cake: In a microwave-safe mug, combine protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the swirl ingredients and drizzle over the batter. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl it through.

- Optional Glaze: If desired, drizzle the optional glaze over the top before serving.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, use a whey-casein blend protein powder.
- You can also bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12–14 minutes instead of microwaving.
