1/3cupcreamy cashew butter(or sub any nut or seed butter)
1tspvanilla extract
1tbspunsweetened almond milk
1cupalmond flour(Bob's Red Mill finely ground almond flour works BEST!)
1/4cupcollagen peptides(completely optional. I use Vital Proteins. They dissolve right away in the batter)
1/4tspbaking soda
1/2tspcinnamon
1/2-3/4dark chocolate bar(I love Eating Evolved signature dark) or sub 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4tspsea salt
8-9inchcast iron skilleta baking dish, cake tin, or loaf tin
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Whisk egg* in large bowl then pour in maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cashew butter, vanilla and almond milk to whisk again.
*If using flax egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds with 3 tbsp water and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to recipe in place of egg.
Stir in almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon and some of the sea salt. Fold in chocolate chunks, leaving several chocolate chunks aside.
Very lightly spray a 8 or 9-inch cast iron skillet (13-inch if doubling the recipe) with coconut oil then pour batter into the base and spread out evenly using a silicone spatula. Place the last several pieces of chocolate over the top, sprinkle sea salt, then place in the oven for 19 minutes on the center rack. Turn the oven on broil and cook 1- 1 1/2 additional minutes **keep a close eye on it because it can burn quickly!
