Collagen Chocolate Chip Snack Cake (paleo)

May 15, 2019 by Dafna

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Paleo Chocolate Chip Snack Cake is the perfect way to have a sweet healthy breakfast (or anytime snack) that goes great with a cup a coffee or tea. It’s spiked with a healthy dose of collagen that adds some protein, has good fats to give you energy, and a good amount of fiber to keep you fuller longer!

This super simple snack cake mixes up in just one bowl (cuz less dishes is always a good thing) and it’s super freezer friendly. I like to prepare one batch on a Sunday, let cool completely, slice and freeze in a stasher bag and pull out a slice for lunches or a midweek afternoon snack whenever the mood strikes.

The snack cake is relatively low in sugar (only 1/2 cup coconut sugar in the loaf) and you can use a super dark chocolate instead of these mini semi sweet chips to keep the sugar super low. It’s paleo friendly, gluten free, grain free, and dairy free but you’ll have even the pickiest of eater fooled with this delicious recipe!

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut yogurt or other non-dairy yogurt

  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 3 eggs pasture raised, if possible
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk I used homemade almond milk

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mini (or regular) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and prepare loaf pan by greasing with extra coconut oil or lining with parchment paper

  2. In a stand mixer, or by hand, mix together coconut yogurt, coconut sugar, and coconut oil light and fluffy

  3. Then beat in 1 egg at a time

  4. Stir in milk of choice and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl to ensure everything is well combined

  5. Add in all the dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) just until well incorporated, ensuring not to over mix

  6. Then stir in chocolate chips, pour batter into loaf pan, and set in middle rack of oven

  7. Bake for 55-57 minutes checking for doneness by sticking with a toothpick

Recipe Notes

This snack cake is a great snack to make at the beginning of the week to have healthy snack options on hand for the rest of the busy week. Just slice and place in freezer! Lightly toast when ready to eat.
