INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup unsweetened almond flour (40g)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate powder (30g)
3 Medjool dates (60g)
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (60ml)
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small cake pan or loaf pan.
Pit the Medjool dates and roughly chop them. Optionally, you can blend them into a paste using a food processor for a smoother texture.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
Add the chopped dates (or date paste) to the wet ingredients, then mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
