Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) almond flour

  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) ground flaxseeds

  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) Splenda brown sugar blend

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) cocoa

  • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder

  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) liquid egg whites (or the equivalent of 2 egg whites)

  • 45 ml (3 tbsp) 0% plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 egg

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) unsweetened vanilla soy milk

  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) instant coffee (regular or decaffeinated)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  3. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, Greek yogurt, and egg using an electric mixer until the texture is light.
