NUTRITIONAL INFO PER SERVE (1 serve)

Cal 125 | 5g Fats | 7g Carbs | 20g Protein

INGREDIENTS

• ½ Scoop (15g) Vanilla protein powder (best results are made with a casein/whey blend - it bakes the best)

• 2 Tbsps (10g) cocoa powder

• 2 Tbsps (20g) Monk Fruit 100% Natural Sweetener

• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

• 1 Large Egg

• 2 tablespoons (25g) Unsweetened apple sauce

• Pinch of salt 

STEP BY STEP

1. Add the dry ingredients to a small bowl, and whisk until combined.

2. In another small bowl, add the egg and apple sauce and combine with a whisk until well incorporated with one another.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and use a spatula to mix them until a thick chocolate batter forms.

4. Coat a ramekin - or mug - with baking spray and pour batter into it.

5. Bake in the microwave for around 30 seconds, check to see how it's baking, then bake for another 20-30 seconds (the centre should look ever so slightly wet - it will continue to bake as it cools).

6. Cool for 3-5 minutes and enjoy!

Sprinkle with fresh raspberries or semi-sweet chocolate chips (additional calories apply).
