- Add almond milk, egg white, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Mix until smooth.
- Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds until the cake rises and looks set, but still slightly moist in the center. If needed, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
- Let it cool slightly before enjoying. For extra indulgence, top with chocolate chips, peanut butter, or whipped cream.

- 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Notes
- Vegan Option: Use plant-based protein powder and swap the egg white for chia seeds mixed with water.
