As I was going through my pantry the other day I saw that I had some mint chocolate chip combat powder. I haven’t used it in quite a while so I figured it would be good to pull it out again. I’m not usually a big fan of things that are mint flavored, but this mint chocolate chip protein cake is delicious!
It has been almost 2 weeks since I have created a recipe. I was in South Carolina for a USA Cycling Talent ID camp. It was such a cool experience being around almost 30 others who have the same passion for cycling as I do. I am not sure if any of them liked to cook like me, but at least we had the love for cycling in common.
The funny thing about this recipe is that I originally planned on them to be brownies. I accidentally added a little too much baking powder, and it became a fluffy cake. I am really not too disappointed because you can never go wrong with cake.
I may have to try this recipe again and actually make them into brownies. I will definitely not change the flavor though. This recipe really made me enjoy the combination of chocolate and mint more than I ever have.
