Chocolate Jam-packed Protein Cake

Gluten free, Dairy free, Sugar free, Yeast free, Corn free, Grain free

Finally, an evening dessert I can feel good about eating. These grain-free, gluten-free cakes have 15 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and under 100 calories. I know I’ll stay satisfied until bedtime and get my chocolate fix.

Yield: 1 cake

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp non-flavored hemp protein powder or other protein powder *see note
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
• 10 drops liquid stevia or 1/2 tbsp honey or other sweetener

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Drop mixture into a ~250mL (1 cup) oven safe ramekin. I purchased a bunch at Superstore for $1 each!
4. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

note: If you have chocolate protein powder, replace the hemp protein and cocoa powder with 3 tbsp protein powder.
