Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, or mashed banana, sweet potato, or pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk of choice as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, granulated sweetener, sea salt, and protein powder until evenly combined.
  • Stir in the mashed applesauce (or your chosen substitute) and mix well. The mixture will be dry and crumbly at this stage.
  • In a separate bowl, gently heat the nut butter and maple syrup in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the melted nut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to combine. The consistency will still be thick.
  • Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until a thick and creamy cake batter consistency is achieved.
  • Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up.
  • Serve chilled, optionally topped with sprinkles or other desired toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can omit the granulated sweetener if your protein powder is already sweetened. If you'd like a sweeter dip, add an extra tablespoon or two.
  • Applesauce provides a mild flavor, while pumpkin or sweet potato may require extra sweetener to balance their natural taste.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • For a refined sugar-free option, opt for sugar-free maple syrup.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute oat flour with 1 tablespoon of coconut flour.
