At this point it’s obvious, I am obsessed with baking protein cakes. This Chocolate Chip Cookie Protein Cake is straight up DELISH!

Healthy single serving cake topped with sea salt flakes.

This cake tastes like a chocolate chip cookie in cake form and I am here for it.

Eat this cake for breakfast like I do or any meal throughout the day. It would make a yummy dessert too!

Naked Shake Vegan Vanilla and chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Any protein powder will work in this high protein recipe, but my go-to is NAKED Shake Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder. Man oh man does it taste good! It has the perfect amount of sweetness and mad vanilla flavor.

NAKED Nutrition is perfect for busy lifestyles that need a delicious and quick way to supplement their daily protein needs.

There are no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. This vanilla shake mix is vegan (pea protein) and certified gluten free with 20g protein, only 5g sugar, 7g carbs, and 120 calories per serving.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Protein Cake

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 scoops NAKED Nutrition Vanilla Vegan protein powder (1/3 cup)
1 egg
1 egg white or 2 Tbsp egg whites
1/8 tsp almond extract (optional, but I love the added flavor)
2 tsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp almond butter
2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips (I use Lily’s sugar free)

I also like to add a sprinkle of sea salt flakes when the cake comes out of the oven. It’s the perfect way to enhance the flavor and sweetness of the cake. #perfection

Naked Cookie package with gluten free protein snack inside.

If you are short on time and need an on-the-go cookie fix, NAKED Nutrition has you covered with their NAKED Cookies. They have a variety of flavors including Chocolate Chip and let me tell ya, they are the perfect snack with 10g protein, 1g sugar, and 8g net carbs!

Chocolate Naked Whey protein powder in packaging.

If you prefer whey protein, I have tried their Chocolate NAKED Whey which contains only 3 ingredients: whey protein concentrate, organic coconut sugar, and organic cacao powder. This protein powder is not overly sweet which is nice. When I have mixed it into yogurt I added a little monk fruit sweetener.

For shakes, if you need a little sweetness add some frozen fruit.

Oh, and the chocolate whey contains 25g per serving (2 scoops). I try to eat 30-40 grams of protein per meal to keep the cravings away to these protein powders are so helpful to get me to my goals.

Ingredients

Batter

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 scoops NAKED Nutrition Vegan Vanilla protein powder or 1/3 cup see notes for other brands of protein powders or whey protein
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white or 2 Tbsp
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract (see notes)
  • 2 tsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp almond butter
  • 1 Tbsp Lily's sugar free dark chocolate chips

Toppings

  • 1 Tbsp Lily's sugar free dark chocolate chips
  • sea salt flakes or regular sea salt
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Spray non-stick cooking spray into a 6" diameter round glazed cast iron pan or any oven safe skillet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all cake batter ingredients until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 21 minutes. Be careful to not overbake or the cake will be dry. The top should be set and the edges a golden brown.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and promptly place the dark chocolate chips on top. Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top too!
  • Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before you start eating. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

When substituting a whey protein powder or different brand of vegan protein powder for the Naked vegan protein, the cake may have a different consistency or texture once baked. Protein powders and baking can be finicky. It may take a few tries before you get the ratios correct OR it may work perfectly the 1st time. This cake is so yummy, it’s worth getting right. 🙂 
 
I love the flavor that almond extract gives to baked goods. Almond extract always reminds me of wedding cake which makes me happy! If you don’t have almond extract, just leave it out of the cake no big deal. This protein cake will taste just as good!
Calories do not include whipped cream.
