Cooking Clean With Quest: Q-Cakes with Blogilates and BrittsBreakdown

Cake Ingredients:

• 1 Chocolate Brownie Quest Bar, broken up
• ¼ cup milk (Almond Breeze unsweetened Almond Coconut)
• 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s)
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek fat-free yogurt (Fage)
• ½ teaspoon real vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute (erythritol)
• 1/8 cup oat flour (I grind my own)
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour (Nativa)
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch salt

Filling & Swirly topping:

• 1/3 cup low fat ricotta
• ½ serving vanilla protein powder
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute

Protein Ganache:

• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips
• ¼ serving chocolate protein powder
• Pinch stevia

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Microwave the Quest Bar, ¼ cup milk and chocolate chips for 1 minute.  Stir until smooth.

2. In a stand mixer, add the egg whites, yogurt, sugar substitute and vanilla extract and beat on low.  Spoon in the melted bar and mix on low.  In a bowl, stir together the remaining dry ingredients and then add to mixer.  Mix until smooth.  Pour into a greased muffin dish ¾ full.  Bake for 20 minutes.

3. As the cakes cook, stir together the filling ingredients.  Spoon into a zip lock baggie.

4. Once cakes are cooled, cut a cone shape into the top of each one, reserving the cone piece.  Pipe the filling inside.  Replace cone.  Flip over so that the top is now the bottom.

5. Microwave the milk and chocolate chips for 40 seconds.  Stir in protein powder and stevia until it’s smooth and thick.  Frost each cake.

6. With remaining filling in the baggie, pipe a swirly decoration on the top of each one.
