Welcome to the world of delicious and healthy desserts! Today, we'll be making a 5 ingredient protein-rich chocolate cake that will satisfy your sweet tooth and fuel your body. Let's get started!
2.
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, in a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Mix well.
3.
Next, add in 1 mashed banana and 2 eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. This will give our cake a moist and fluffy texture, while also adding in some extra protein.
4.
Now, it's time for the star ingredient - ½ cup of dark chocolate chips. These will give our cake a rich and decadent chocolate flavor, while also providing some antioxidants.
5.
Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6.
While the cake is baking, let's make the chocolate drizzle. In a small saucepan, melt ¼ cup of dark chocolate chips with 1 tbsp of coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
7.
Once the cake is done, let it cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the chocolate on top. This will prevent the chocolate from melting too much and creating a mess.
8.
Now, for the final touch, sprinkle some chopped almonds on top for added crunch and protein. You can also add some fresh berries for a pop of color and extra nutrients.
9.
Slice and serve your protein-rich chocolate cake and enjoy the guilt-free indulgence. Each slice is packed with 10 grams of protein, making it a perfect post-workout treat.
