Description

Greek Yogurt Protein Cake is a moist, fluffy dessert made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and wholesome ingredients like almond flour and oats. It’s a protein-packed treat perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert.


Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup protein powder

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in honey and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is combined.
  6. Slowly pour in milk and mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, blend the oats into a fine oat flour before adding to the dry ingredients.

If you prefer a dairy-free version, use a thick, creamy dairy-free yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

For added texture, you can mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to the batter.

Ensure your oats are certified gluten-free if you need to make the recipe gluten-free.
