Carrot Protein Cake - Gluten Free
- 2/3 cup oat flour (55g)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour (22g)
- 75 g vanilla protein powder (about 2 scoops, I used OL Vanilla Pea Protein, it also would probably work with Casein powder)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- stevia, to taste (I used 12 packets Truvia which would be about 1/2 tsp extract)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2% plain (4 oz)
- 1 cup carrot (6 oz cooked, about 4 carrots)
- 1/2 cup water (from carrot cooking liquid)
- 8 tablespoons pasteurized liquid egg-whites (160g)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Chop the carrots into 1" discs, then cook them however you like, I steamed them but you can also boil them.
- While the carrots are cooking, mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- The carrots are done when a fork inserted in one of them comes out easily, about 12 minutes.
- Put the carrots and 1/2 Cup of the cooking or steaming liquid into a blender with the Greek yogurt. Puree for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the carrot mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients.
- Add the vanilla and liquid egg whites last, stir together until everything is mixed inches.
- Pour the batter into an 8x8 pan sprayed with cooking oil.
