Serves: 12
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 cup almond meal
- 3 tbsp gluten-free flour
- 2 scoops ATP Science’s NOWAY Protein (Vanilla)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Jelly Coating:
- 1 sachet NOWAY Jelly Raspberry
- ¼ cup boiling water
- ¼ cup cold water
- Extra coconut for rolling
Method
- Prepare Your Oven and Tray: Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a gem tray or mini muffin tray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond meal, gluten-free flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Combine and Shape: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until well combined. Spoon 1.5 tbsp of the batter into each hole of the prepared tray, shaping the mixture into a small dome if possible.
- Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and set. Let the cakes cool in the tray.
- Prepare the Jelly: While the cakes bake, dissolve the jelly sachet in ¼ cup boiling water. Stir well, then add ¼ cup cold water. Place the mixture in the fridge to thicken slightly—it should be runny with some lumps when ready.
- Coat the Cakes: Once the cakes are cool and the jelly is semi-set, dip each cake into the jelly, ensuring an even coating, then roll in shredded coconut.
- Set and Serve: Allow the cakes to chill in the fridge briefly before serving. Enjoy a bite of nostalgia with a protein-packed twist!
