Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry cake ingredients: protein powder, almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: applesauce, coconut milk, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool slightly before cutting it into 1-inch squares.
  • Thread the cake squares and berries onto skewers, alternating colors. Start and end with a cake square.
  • Serve immediately with Greek yogurt, if desired.

Notes

Don't overmix the batter! Let the cake cool completely before cutting. Prepare skewers ahead and refrigerate until assembly. Leftover cake squares can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
