Chocolate 180 Banana & Pumpkin Seed Cake

This homemade tasty little number is high in protein and good fats. Perfect to keep handy in the fridge or freezer for those snack moments. 🙂

We also recommend adding more or less banana and rice malt to suit sweetness. We always err on the side of caution because of sugar content.

Ingredients:

• 80 – 100g organic dark chocolate 85% cocoa or more (melted)
• ¼ cup tahini
• 3 eggs
• 1 ripe banana
• ½ cup pumpkin seeds
• 4 scoops (1 cup) 180 nutrition Protein superfood blend

1. Melt dark chocolate in a small bowl.
2. Add tahini, stir and set aside. This will be the topping.
3. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
