Coconut Cream Chocolate Chip Protein Cake Bites

Light and fluffy coconut cream chocolate chip cake bites! You won't believe that each one only has 56 calories per cake bite. A little side note - - coconut flour is a bit tricky to bake with because it absorbs so much moisture from the batter. If you don't have coconut flour and you decide to use a flour substitute, make sure to add a bit more of the substitute than the amount of coconut flour the recipe calls for. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2/3 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ cup light coconut milk

Nicolette’s Tips

* Adjust the sweetener of choice to reach desired sweetness. I tend to enjoy my treats on the less sweet side so feel free to add more as needed.

* If you do not have coconut flour, add an additional 1/3 cup oat flour as a substitute for ¼ cup coconut flour. Adjust the macronutrients as necessary.

Peanut Butter Protein Cake Bites

What are cake bites to me? I mean they are basically mini, round, sweet, moist, and delicious little balls of CAKE! To me, they are perfection. Let's be honest. Sometimes, you want to be able to put a cake in a ziplock bag, stick it in your purse, and freakin' eat it when you want. It just doesn't happen that way unfortunately. That is why I love cake bites. You can totally do that. Want a cake bite while shopping? Have one. Want a cake bite in the doctor's office? Have one. Want a cake bite while you're in a public restroom? Have one (but don't let anyone see you eating here. I won't judge, though). I hope you get the urge to make these because I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy!
