Freezer-Friendly CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKES with Lots of Health Protein!

Now just follow the easy preparation steps for your favorite version of these super-healthy Chocolate Fudge Cakes:

For the gluten-free version:

 
 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 x 8 pyrex or glass baking dish with oil and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the applesauce, yogurt, almond butter, egg whites and milk of choice well.

4. Pour into the dry mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Stir through chocolate chips/chunks and bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven, and your desired texture (test using a tooth pick or skewer). Rotate the pan then too, to ensure fully cooked. Remove and allow to cool completely, before topping with extra chocolate drizzle then slicing into bars.

For the paleo version:

 
 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a small loaf pan (4 x 8 or similar) with oil and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

3. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, coconut oil and non dairy milk until fully combined.

4. Pour into the dry mixture and mix until combined. Stir through optional chocolate chips and bake for 20-30 minutes, checking halfway through. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.

TIPS:

 
 

Oven temperatures and models are all different. If there is one tip I can provide, it would be to rotate your cake pan halfway through to ensure it is fully cooked through the center. In the past, I used to sometimes be presented with half-baked/undercooked cake bars. This ensured they were fully cooked through.

If you want a more gooey, softer brownie-like bar, feel free to take it out just a tad earlier. Allow to cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for several hours.

It’s best to use a pyrex baking dish to avoid cooking too fast- If you use a standard cake pan or loaf tin, you may need to adjust your baking time by a little bit.

These cake bars need to be kept in the refrigerator. They are also freezer friendly.
