Imagine finishing your workout, coming home and craving something sweet. Now imagine you’ve got a HIGH PROTEIN caramel cake in your cupboard ready to go whenever you want… sounds good right?

Weighing in with nearly 10g protein per slice, this recipe is what one might call a game changer. Lets dive in:

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla pea protein
8 medjool dates
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/8 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup gluten-free muesli (or oats)
1/2 cup of liquid egg whites
1 tsp caramel flavouring (see Note below)
1/2 tsp of baking powder

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients

2. Bake in a cake tin at 160 C (320F) for 65-75 mins or until when poked with a knife, your knife comes out clean.

3. Let cool and ENJOY!

Macros per slice (out of eight): 89kcals, 8g protein, 25g carbs (out of which 11g is fibre), 1g fat.

Note: You can also remove the caramel flavouring completely too and your cake will still taste caramel flavour due to the combo of medjool dates and coconut sugar.
