Although not as puffy as it’s egg-filled counterpart, this vegan protein cake is delicious, moist and still comes in at over 15 grams of protein!

Ingredients

3 tablespoon non-flavored hemp protein powder
1 tablespoon freshly ground flax mixed with 3 tablespoon warm water left to sit for 5 minutes
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoon xylitol
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon natural gluten-free lemon extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Drop mixture into an oiled 6oz. oven safe ramekin
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

The vegan version will not puff up as the egg version does and are quite moist, but just as tasty! In fact, Kevin and I liked this version more!
