Instructions
In a high-speed blender, add 1/2 cup rolled oats (dry) and blend until you have a fine powder that resembles flour. Add cocoa powder and baking powder and mix to combine. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe mug or large ramekin, add the half-banana and mash with a fork until no lumps remain. Add the soymilk, maple syrup, and a small dash of vanilla extract and mix until throughly combined.
Carefully add the dry oat flour mixture to the ramekin and mix with a fork just until combined. Do not over-mix. Make sure the ramekin or mug is at least 2x the size of the batter, as it will rise dramatically in the microwave.
Add a special surprise center! Using a large spoon, lift up some of the batter, sprinkle chocolate chips (or your chosen center ingredients) into the center of the batter, and cover with the spoonful of batter.
Place in the microwave and microwave for 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!

Notes
This healthy baked oats mug cake recipe naturally packs a protein-punch with 10 grams of plant protein!
If you'd like to add additional protein, add one tablespoon of the plant-based protein powder in place of one tablespoon of cocoa powder.
If you'd prefer to bake your protein mug cake in the oven, preheat to 350 degrees, make sure you're using an oven-safe ramekin, and bake for about 25 minutes.
