🌿 Ingredients
-
4 medium sweet apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala work beautifully)
-
4 large eggs
-
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
(Optional: pinch cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor — still no sugar!)
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Apples
Peel and core the apples.
Blend or finely grate them into a smooth purée.
2️⃣ Mix
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy.
Stir in apple purée and cocoa powder.
Mix until fully smooth and combined.
3️⃣ Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a small baking dish (about 8×8 inch) with parchment paper.

❓ Q & A
Q: Is this keto?
No — apples contain natural sugars. It’s no added sugar, but not low-carb.
Q: Can I blend everything together?
Yes! A blender makes the batter extra smooth.
Q: Can I make it richer?
Add 1 tablespoon almond butter or a few dark chocolate chips (if not strictly sugar-free).
Q: How do I store it?
Refrigerate up to 4 days. It tastes even better chilled.
