Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Protein Cake

SERVING SIZE: 1 piece

YIELDS: 9 pieces

– 85g light butter (Country Crock brand is recommended)
– 75g vanilla whey
– 7g fat free sugar free vanilla pudding mix
– 100g all purpose flour
– 100g unsweetened applesauce
– 1/2 tsp baking powder

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in a large bowl until melted.
3. Add all other ingredients and mix well except for apple pie filling, cinnamon and caramel.
4. Pour batter into a greased 9×9 cake pan.
5. In another smaller bowl, combine apple pie filling, cinnamon and caramel.
6. Scoop apple pie filling mixture with a spoon on top of the cake batter in the pan.
7. With a fork, swirl the pie filling on the cake batter so it looks like cinnamon rolls.
8. Bake for 20-30 minutes until cooked through (check with toothpick). Enjoy!
