Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour or oat flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons water or almond milk
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, ice cream, or nuts for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the diced apple with the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
- Mix the Oat Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour (or oat flour), melted coconut oil (or butter), and water (or almond milk). Stir until just combined to form a crumbly topping.
- Spoon the oat and protein mixture over the apples in the mug, pressing it down slightly to form an even layer.
- Microwave the mug on high for 1 – 2 minutes, watching closely. Cook until the apples are tender and the topping is set but slightly soft.
- Allow to cool for a minute before adding your choice of Greek yogurt, ice cream, or nuts on top.
Notes
Ensure that the apple is diced into small, even pieces for even cooking. For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and plant-based butter or oil.
