This chocolate cake is so good (and so easy to make) I have it for breakfast
Think you can't have chocolate cake for breakfast? Think again. When it's this quick and easy to make, and hits all the right macro notes - why wouldn't you?
You can't have chocolate cake for breakfast – said no-one ever
Sticking to a gluten-free, sugar-free diet is difficult. Especially when it means missing out on sweet treats. And let's face it - the carb cravings never really go away do they? So finding recipes that mimic our favourites, taste as good, but really are good FOR you makes it that much easier to reach your gut healing goals.
Ooey gooey good for you chocolate brownie cake
1 egg
2/3 cup greek yoghurt
3 tbs cacoa powder (I sometimes use less)
1 tbs protein powder
1 tbs sweetener (optional) - I usually leave this out as it's sweet enough with the protein powder for me
I sometimes add 1 tbs chia seeds and1/4 cup gluten-free oats (both optional). If this makes the cake too dense / dry for you, add a dash of liquid (water, milk or more yoghurt) OR if you are trying to keep your fibre down due to a UC flare, leave these ingredients out or
I sometimes add blueberries for extra sweet bursts (and blueberries are SO good for you)
I line my bowl with spray and cook for easier cleaning but it's not essential
Mix all the ingredients together in a microwave-safe bowl, mug or dish
Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes on high
Leave it to cool for a few minutes and either share with a loved one or keep it all to yourself
ENJOY!!
