Ok, not gonna lie friends, I’ve been coming up with some winners lately. The zucchini pancakes were delightful, and the easy 5-ingredient pork & pea soup was out of this world.
Today we have reached new heights in the easy quick paleo/primal-friendly dessert category. These paleo banana chocolate chip chia seed cakelets are pretty freakin scrumpsh.
You could also get away with having cake for breakfast if you’re feeling indulgent. They’re pretty high in protein and fiber, plus some healthy fat and not much sweet stuff at all. Just 1 ripe banana and 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (divided between 6 servings).
A tasty gooey gluten-free cakelet that's perfect for dessert and healthy enough for breakfast too, once in a while ;)
Ingredients
- 1 mashed banana
- 1/2 cup milk (I use organic raw milk, learn how I get it here)
- 2 scoops (40 g) protein powder (here is the best I've found)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweeted desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 heaping tbsp cocoa
- pinch baking soda
- pinch baking powder
- pinch of pink salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl.
- Add in all the other ingredients and mix well.
- Pour into 6 silicone muffin cups (you NEED these, they will change your life!!!! especially if you bake with a lot of coconut / rice / almond flour).
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350 F.
- Enjoy sliced in half with grass-fed butter on top. YUM.
If you try these, let me know what you think! Did you use all good-quality ingredients? Would you alter the recipe at all? Do you think these are healthy and nutritious enough to fit in with your paleo/primal-oriented diet? Or are they just for a rare treat? 80-20 rule! ;) Enjoy!!
