  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sal t
  • 3 large egg s
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 20 cake pop sticks

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. Whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into fine pieces in a large bowl.
  7. Add Greek yogurt to the crumbs one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms that can hold a shape.
  8. Roll the mixture into 20 uniform balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray; freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
  9. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until smooth.
  10. Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the chocolate, insert it into a cake ball, then submerge the entire ball into the chocolate, letting the excess drip off before setting upright to harden.
