This recipe uses Proteinfull Baking cake mix because it has such great taste and texture. It's keto-friendly and gluten free, too! I used the applesauce sub for oil to keep the calories down, and it is just as moist and delicious as with using oil.

I used Lily's chips here, my go-to for better-for-you baking.

This cake is super simple, and can really take on any inclusions you like. Proteinfull Baking has a blueberry muffin recipe using the same mix. So yummy!

Check out the Proteinfull mixes, and give this recipe a try!

    I made these the other day with a few changes; banana instead of applesauce, whole wheat pastry flour + 1 tbsp psyllium instead of coconut flour, whey crunchies instead of chocolate chips. They were soooo good! Thanks for the great and simple recipe!
