A couple weeks ago we celebrated National Chocolate Cupcake Day! Well today is National Vanilla Cupcake day and I couldn’t not celebrate! I wanted to give you an easy recipe that you can put together in minutes and will taste just as good as a vanilla cupcake! I was inspired by the Tone It Up ladies to create a recipe using my Perfect Fit Protein which I have been loving lately! It cooks perfect and works just as awesome in smoothies. Plus it’s Organic, Raw, Gluten Free, and only 70 calories in a serving! Good enough for me!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbs. Perfect Fit Protein (or any protein of choice)
- 1 tbs. ground flaxseed
- 1 egg
- 2 tbs. unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Directions:
- In a microwave safe mug sprayed with olive oil spray, combine all of your ingredients and mix well.
- Microwave on high 2-3 minutes until cooked.
- Top with almond butter (I used Justin’s Vanilla) and organic sprinkles!
What’s your favorite sweet treat???

I might try this with my Sunwarrior protein….it looks good! Might the calorie count be off though? An egg by itself is 70 calories…..just wondering. In any case, I like the quick and easy method with healthy ingredients. Thanks!
Sorry if it was confusing! The protein itself is 70 calories for a serving! I was just talking about the protein and not the cupcake yet! If only the whole cupcake was 70 calories! I’d be beside myself
Oops. Sorry about that–I totally misread that. Thanks!
Hahaha no worries!
Oh how I LOVE these microwave mug cakes – so easy and convenient, and perfectly portioned.. I need to buy some protein powder and give this a go
I’ve been loving these for breakfast! So easy and yummy!
I have not yet perfected the mug cake yet so I can’t wait to try your combo!! And I love vanilla!!
Definitely try it out! Hope you like it!
This would be a great before bed treat!
Yes! I love making these as a nighttime snack!
I’ve yet to make my own mug cake, but they seriously do sound like a perfect snack. And I love how you put sprinkles on top
Sprinkles definitely make everything 100x better.
You have to try them! They’re so easy and really good! I agree sprinkles make everything so much better
Awww…..man! I’m out of protein or I would be having this for breakfast. I’ve been wanting to give that particular protein a try….I love that it only has 70 calories.
I actually really love it and it tastes awesome! I love that it’s raw, vegan, and gluten free too! Definitely give it a try it’s totally worth it!
Oh yum! I think I may try this today for a break in packing as a “treat”!
I’ve tried various mug cakes in the past and, while they are always delicious, mine have never been as ‘fluffy’ as yours! I can’t wait to try this!
I think the added baking powder makes them a little fluffier! Hope it works for you
I’ve tried perfect fit too. It’s really good and tastes almost identical to Sun Warrior in flavor.
I’ve never tried sun warrior but always wanted too! Good to know they’re similar!
Yummy! That is perfect, so quick and easy! How long do you guess does it have to cook in the oven. I don’t have a microwave (I know that’s weird but microwaves are not often seen around here:-))
Hmm! Maybe like 10-15 minutes. Funny you don’t have microwaves there! They’re actually not supposed to be very good for us to use! You’re better off with the oven
That is looking mighty good! And I love your addition of the sprinkles..it just wouldn’t be a cupcake without them!
Hahaha nope! Sprinkles make everything better!
oh my this looks great when you want something sweet and cakey without that horrible sugar crash
Thanks so much Kailey!
Yum! I love Perfect Fit protein for smoothies and baking. Can’t wait to try this recipe–looks delish. Thanks for sharing!
Hope you like it Jeanette!
So cute!!!! What a great idea.
Thank you!
Oh yum!! That sounds perfect. I never thought of using Perfect Fit for something like that. Thanks for the idea!!
Thanks Amanda!
HOLY MOLY that is the most adorable little meal I have ever seen!!!!! You have just convinced me that I need to buy Perfectly Fit. I actually want to create and sell my own protein powder!!! I need to create a line of nutrition products ASAP… Just gotta figure out how to do that first, lol!!!
I really just love that Perfectly Fit is made with PEA PROTEIN! I don’t believe in Whey or Casein or Soy… So this is brilliant! I wish it were sold in stores, although, the Tone It Up ladies live down the road from me!
I should just knock on their door and ask if I can “borrow” a cup of Perfectly Fit, lol!
Hahaha no way! You totally need to stop by and ask to borrow some perfect fit! I love Tone it Up! The protein is really awesome too! Definitely worth buying it!
I’ve been wanting to find a good mug cake recipe so I’m definitely going to try this out! I bet it would taste awesome with coconut butter on top!
Yes! Didn’t even think of putting coconut butter on top but that would be amazing!
i love these microwave muffins!! I need to try perfect fit. I usually use sunwarrior
I love perfect fit! Someone just told me it’s pretty similar to sun warrior actually!
These look yummy
I love Perfect Fit Protein!
Thanks Paige! I do too! I just got it and I love it!
I tried this with About Time Birthday Cake protein. I didn’t have ground flax, so I used cornmeal. It was actually pretty good!
Awesome! So glad you liked it. I bet the cornmeal gave it a bit of a different flavor!
