Those look delicious!! I did big cupcakes for me to eat at a birthday party out of the same recipe. Yum! I mixed WF marshmallow and chocolate to use as frosting. Not quite as good as the real stuff, but not bad!

Mmm... WF marshmallow? Yum!! Does it have a fluffy texture?

I found a recipe using the orange drink, reduced the oil, as suggested in the recipe. Cooked up with the texture of spray insulation and tasted about as bad as I imagine spray insulation would taste.
I shaved a restricted chocolate bar (I was behind one protein pac,) over some of it and let the bar melt, then is was slightly more palatable, once the chocolate was gone thought, back to the insulation.

I will try it again with another flavour, use the full TBSP of oil and see what happens.

This sounds delicious! I'm going to try it next time I have the drink packets!

Has anyone tried this with alternative protien powders?! i would LOVE to be able to make this every now and then as a treat!

and is it actually a restricted item?
looks so yummy!

This sounds delish! Can't wait to try it:) Like many of you my attempt for chocolate mug cake (drink mix) came out rubbery. I felt like I was eating a sponge. Should have used it to clean the kitchen :dizzy:

OMG.... soooo yummy! this is totally how i want to take my last protien of the day...
so i use alternative products.. but i thought what the heck.. lets try a scoop and see what happens..
so i did 1 scoop of my protien powder.. then added cold chia tea instead of water (this is how i drink my shakes now cause i dont like the after taste of the shakes.. )... just enough to make it that pudding consistency..
then mixed it and added all the other ingredients the same..
i cooked it in a tupperware dish so it didnt expand over the top and when it came out i put 1/2 teaspoon of WF choc sauce and 1/2 tsp WF carmel sauce on top!

IT IS SO YUMMY! (maybe a little dry.. but definitely something I can live with!) whoever requested this recipe and replied.. you are gods! this is exactly what i needed today :carrot:

I must have done something very wrong! Mine was disgusting! I choked it down bc I cannot afford to waste a packet, but it was very hard to do! I even put WF chocolate on top and I think that made it worse! Oh well....

I just made this yesterday and thought it was pretty good!

**did you bake this on 350* ?? ** I'm gonna have to try this, they look really good

I make the mug cake often. I've used chocolate, cappuccino, and vanilla. I mix it in a 4 Cup glass measuring cup so I don't have the explosion. It took a few tries but I no longer measure, just eyeball it. I usually dip in WF caramel syrup...yum!

I need to know your trick with the mug cake. Mine turned out slimy or like a slightly undercooked omelet after it decompressed.

I tried it in the mug once, and it looked like chocolate cottage cheese, slimey, and nasty. I'll have to get brave and try it again, but hate to waste a packet again. I had better luck cooking in the oven.

I'm with you all--I tried this once and thought it was terrible. I love my puddings and hated to waste a packet on this. :lol:

I must be missing something...

The only thing I love with the packets is the crispy cereal pancakes with WF syrup.

Don't use the pudding, only the drink mixes. I put the packet in and then whisk in about 2 oz water....estimating this amount. Just enough so it mixes without clumping. Sometimes if mine seems too "wet" after the 3 minutes I flip it over onto a plate and microwave a bit longer.

Just tried the banana chocolate bread recipe with a few variations. One I used lemon pudding and vanilla drink mix, one with vanilla pudding and orange drink mix, and one with dark chocolate pudding and cappuccino drink mix. I'll post in the daily thread when I try them, but they smell delicious!

IF all else fells - Nashua Nutrition makes a mug cake packet - just add water - it's not like homemade cake, but it will help curb the chocolate cake cravings. I've been tempted to top with WF chocolate sauce or the WF marshmallow creme - but haven't yet.

I was soooo looking forward to this, but it turned out horrible :s It turned rubbery and hard. Maybe 3 mins in the microwave is too long??

Sounds like you overcooked it - a good type is if you see it start to deflate in the microwave, it's likely done. Microwave strengths vary :)

I made this today with the drink packet and it turned out pretty decent...I'm debating making it again for my evening snack. :) When my hubby walked in the house, he was like, did you make brownies?!?!? LOL!!

Mug cake
 

I love the chocolate mug cake! I cook it for 11/2-2minutes at 50% power.

1 pkg Chocolate Drink ( replace with other drinks try with vanilla drink)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon splenda (or sweeten with other sweetener to taste )
Splash of vanilla

forgot to put in the olive oil - yuck! won't try that one again.

I made it with the wildberry yogurt drink- the texture wasn't perfect, but it tasted good.

I used the vanilla pudding mix, did the recipe as above with only a teaspoon of oil though. Used a super big mug and thankful (per advice) put it on a plate. It almost hit the top of the microwave but did not. I have a 1000w microwave and put it on 70% power and set it for 3 minutes. I turned it off when it started to deflate. I tipped the cup upside down and it held it's shape but was like eating flan. Flavor was good but, I too, was looking for a cake type consistency. I think I will try it in the oven next time. Good luck all!!

I overcooked it the 1st time too. 3 minutes is too long. I watch it thur the window and stop it when it inflates and then start it again and it inflates again. I only use 2 tsp oil.

I have the chocolate mug cake all the time. Here is the recipe I use:

Chocolate Mug Cake
Pour the drink mix into the mug. Add enough water to bring to a slightly watery pudding consitency, just add enough to be able to mix easily. Add other ingredients while mixing like crazy until silky smooth. Put it in the microwave for three minutes on top of another place. Watch it expand like crazy- then enjoy!
Ingredients:
• 1 package of chocolate drink mix or pugging mix
• 1 egg white
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 stevia packet

I put mine in a ceramic serving bowl, and use a whisk to mix it. I add about 3 oz of water to begin with, mix it well and then add another 3 oz of water when it is halfway mixed together. I tried it in a mug and that didn't work so well but the serving bowl works great for me. The consistency is a little spongy but it still tastes good, even my partner bugs me for a bite. LOL

I also add a little coconut or almond extract once in a while for a change. I will also use a drizzle of half and half on the top, which makes it moist and heavenly (your call on that though).
