You will end up with a muffin sized piece of chocolate cake that is absolutely delicious, moist, and super high in protein.

You can add extra goodness if you want....peanut butter powder, a few chocolate chips or coco nibs, strawberries on top, chocolate syrup

This is guaranteed to hit the spot for a bad carb craving (without the spikes and rebound hunger)

Excellent protein for your calories!

All plant proteins (cept the egg white)

Excellent dietary fiber (peas and oats)

Really good eats....that feels super naughty....but isn't:)

You can buy pea Protein and brown rice protein at health food stores and Amazon.

What's nice about pairing a rice and legume protein...is that it creates a complete amino acid...so the protein is high quality like animal protein.

It's just a nice alternative to constantly getting your protein from animal sources. My diet is a little heavier on plant based protein than most. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do eat a lot of alternative protein sources. (egg powder, crickets, pea protein, soy, fungus protein, etc) I just prefer not to consume so much dairy. (whey)

Plus, the Fiber in peas helps build good gut bugs:)

You could use regular whey Protein Powder if you want to....no worries.

Thanks for the info. This is interesting; I'm going to try it as well. I've never been a big meat eater and I do feel like I'm getting oversaturated with dairy. Now that I'm out of the initial shock of new eating, tracking protein etc I need to look outside of my box.

A simpler version of this without the alternative protein sources

2 tablespoons coconut flour

1 scoop protein powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

And enough fat free milk of choice to make it a thick batter

Microwave and serve

Can add flavorings of choice (vanilla extract, torani etc}

Will also increase your protein to around 30g + (depending on the milk and protein powder you use) and still be an excellent source of fiber from the coconut flour

Also has the added benefit of not requiring a blender and being lower in carbs

(if you wanted to make this even lower in calories you could reduce or even cut out the coconut flour, and use something like almond milk instead if regular fat free milk)

(also you'd want tto eat it out of the cup with a spoon instead of plating it)
