At this point it’s obvious, I am obsessed with baking protein cakes. This Chocolate Chip Cookie Protein Cake is straight up DELISH!
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!
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.
In total, this dairy free Chocolate Chip Cookie Protein Cake has 35 grams protein, 19 grams fat, and 21 grams carbs. You will be satisfied for 4-5 hours thanks to this balanced meal!
Hello happy and balanced blood sugar!
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
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!
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.
Are you sold? Ya, I thought so! This is the cake of your healthy little dreams. 😉 Enjoy!
