Protein Chocolate Cake

I just found out that as you age your body needs more protein and this recipe satisfies my sweet tooth cravings and at the same time bumps up my protein intake. The best part is that it takes only 2.30 mins to cook!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of flax seed or chia seed
2 tablespoons of hemp protein powder (chocolate or regular flavour. If you use regular flavour then add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa).
1 egg or egg white
1 tsp of vanilla essence
2 tablespoons of almond milk
1/4 tsp of gluten free baking powder
2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (reduce to 1 tablespoon in you use the chocolate flavoured hemp protein powder as this usually is sweetened).

NOTE: I've doubled the quantity in the pictures.

1) Mix all the dry ingredients first except for chocolate chips in a glass microwaveable bowl.

2) Add wet ingredients and mix well.

3) Drop in the chocolate chips.
4) Microwave in high for 2.30 mins.
5) Let it sit for a few minutes out of the microwave before you serve.

TIP: You could also bake this cake in a non stick cake pan at 350 degrees for approx 15 to 25 mins. You probably want to double or triple the recipe if you do.
