A vanilla funfetti mug cake filled with fun surprises in each bite! This recipe boasts higher protein, lower sugar, and less guilt than other cake recipes because I use a blend of vanilla protein powder and flaxseed which helps to maximize the nutrients in one little mug.
This cake is a tribute to my birthday week! So what better way to celebrate than with a classic vanilla funfetti mug cake?! Truly, all I need is a candle lit in the middle and I’m ready to make a wish.
Funfetti Mug Cake
This mug cake is so light and fluffy yet sweet and indulgent that it makes such a perfect after meal treat. I could not wait to share this recipe with all of you. The sprinkles add a yummy surprise in each bite. The protein/flaxseed mixture creates an irresistible texture that keeps you coming back for more bite after bite.
I think my favorite part of these mug cake recipes is that they are single serving recipes. You can finish those whole thing without sharing and without feeling guilty about finishing the whole thing. Often, I find that when given the option, I’ll eat too much dessert and feel bad later. In the case of these mug cakes, I don’t feel that way because I know they are portioned just right. That’s the key here: Everything is good in moderation. I crave something sweet and these are the perfect fix.
The ingredients I use in each mug cake is filled with fiber and protein. This helps to fuel your body in a more effective way than filling your body with the empty calories of a sugary, outrageous dessert. I really enjoy the balance of these cakes I have created. I hope you do too. Go ahead! Indulge yourself in this Vanilla Funfetti Mug Cake and continue to feel good about achieving your health goals.
