Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g oats 1¾ cups, ground into flour
- 140 g non-fat Greek yogurt ½ cup
- 65 g monkfruit sweetener ⅓ cup
- 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder ¼ cup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 g 2% milk ⅓ cup
- Pinch of salt
Optional Topping:
- 1½ oz dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Grind oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and monkfruit until smooth. Add vanilla and yogurt, and mix again.
- Sift in oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir gently to combine. Batter will be thick—add milk to loosen it.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool slightly before slicing.
- Optional: Melt chocolate with milk and drizzle over cake before serving.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- For a richer cake, replace monkfruit with honey (adjust calories accordingly).
