Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter

Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cocoa powder (if using), and sweetener. Stir until well mixed.
