Ingredients
Cake:
- 15 g Oat Flour (Higher Harvest H-E-B)
- 7 g Hot Cocoa Mix (Trader Joe’s)
- 15 g Chocolate Protein Powder (Quest)
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 8 ml Sugar Free Syrup
- 30 ml Protein Plant Milk (Good Karma)
- 7 g Unsalted Light Butter (Smart Balance)
Chocolate Drizzle:
- 13 g Fudge Brownie Chocolate Squares (Gatsby’s)
- 7 ml Protein Plant Milk (Good Karma)
To Top:
- 22 g Vanilla Marshmallow Creme (Funky Mello)
Instructions
Cake:
- Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl until a thick batter forms.15 g (2 tbsp) Oat Flour, 7 g (1 tsp) Hot Cocoa Mix, 15 g (3 tbsp) Chocolate Protein Powder, ½ tsp Baking Powder, 8 ml (0.5 tbsp) Sugar Free Syrup, 30 ml (2 tbsp) Protein Plant Milk, 7 g (0.5 tbsp) Unsalted Light Butter
- Spray a small ramekin with olive oil or sprinkle the inside with cacao powder to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Pour in your batter and smooth it out.
- Microwave for 30-45 seconds. Start off slow and continuously check it. You want it slightly undercooked for the best gooey chocolate. Everyone’s microwave temperatures will vary so keep an eye on yours.
Chocolate Drizzle:
- In another small bowl, add in your remaining chocolate squares with the milk.13 g (0.5 oz) Fudge Brownie Chocolate Squares, 7 ml (0.5 tbsp) Protein Plant Milk
- Melt at 15 second intervals until smooth. I did mine for a total of 30 seconds.
To Serve:
- Eat straight out of the ramekin or transfer to a plate but flipping upside down and giving the top a few taps with a spoon. It should slip right out.
To Top:
- Top with the marshmallow creme and your chocolate ganache. Then dig in!22 g (2 tbsp) Vanilla Marshmallow Creme
