• 2 tablespoon unflavored hemp protein powder
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• ¼ cup egg whites
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• 2 teaspoon birch-sourced xylitol
• 2 tablespoon dairy-free chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine all ingredients but chocolate chips in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Drop mixture into a ~250mL (1 cup) oven safe ramekin. top with chocolate chips.
4. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

If you have chocolate protein powder, replace the hemp protein and cocoa powder with 3 tablespoon protein powder.
Can be made vegan by removing egg white, replacing with 1 tablespoon freshly ground flax + 3 tablespoon warm water left to sit for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder to the recipe. The cake will be very dense, will not rise as well, but is really good!
