For 1 cake
Preparation: 15 min
Cooking: 30 to 40 min

For the cake

180 g oats
25 g cocoa powder
60 g Pulse chocolate protein powder
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda or baking powder
300 ml plant-based milk
50 g dates
60 ml hot water
½ banana
65 g Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)
2 tbsp (35 g) coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
75 g dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Preheat the oven to 175°C.

In a blender, mix the dates, hot water, and banana until you get a smooth purée. In a large bowl, combine the oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, salt, and baking soda (or baking powder).

Then add the plant-based milk, the date purée, the banana, the Greek yogurt, the coconut oil, and the vanilla extract. Mix well until you get a smooth chocolate batter. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.

Lightly grease a loaf pan with a little coconut oil, pour in the batter, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Let it cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Perfect for breakfast or snack time!
