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!
