Whipped Vanilla Protein Cake

Moist, fluffy, delicious cake. Need I say more? Threw this together for my sister, but totally stole a piece for tasting purposes. Probably my best cake ever. And it's so simple to make!

I buy my flours and stevia online from Vitacost. It's an online grocery store that has so many fun, healthy ingredients. Here's a discount link for money off your first order: 

Whipped Vanilla Protein Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Cellucor Whipped Vanilla protein powder (or other vanilla whey)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 packets stevia
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups almond milk (I used unsweetened vanilla)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan or square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Blend all ingredients together in a large food processor or blender. Make sure you don't over mix! I like to stir the bottom with a spatula to make sure the dry ingredients don't stick and clump at the bottom in between mixing.
3. Add to your loaf pan or baking dish. Cook about 30-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. For the frosting, I just mixed together Greek yogurt with vanilla casein. Casein protein makes the greek yogurt thicker and more frosting-like. If you only have whey protein, that's fine too!

Oatmeal Crisp Baked Apples

My dad likes to buy in bulk sometimes, and doesn't usually check the quality of the contents in the bag . . . so he bought a bag of Gala apples. They that weren't bad, but they weren't up to par for eating on their own. My mom was about to throw them out (!) . . . but I saved the little guys when I offered to bake them up for dessert. They were SO easy and quick, so I was surprised by how much my sister and my parents RAVED about them. I decided to take a bite and shocked myself- they tasted like apple pie! This is a great, healthy dessert for the whole family!

Oatmeal Crisp Baked Apples

Ingredients:

Apples:

4 apples (I used Gala)

Pumpkin pie spice (or just cinnamon!)

Vanilla Protein Frosting:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, but so tasty!!)
Truvia to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cut apples in half and scoop out seeds. Leave a small "hole" to put your filling in.
3. Mix together the syrup and the oats.
4. Place the oat mixture in the "hole" of each apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
6. To prepare the frosting: stir together all frosting ingredients! Top your apples!
