  • 1½ Tbsp Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (11g, or regular AP)
  • 1 Tbsp Almond Butter Powder (6g, or PB Powder)
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (30ml)

  1. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup vanilla protein powder, 1½ Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour, 1 Tbsp almond butter powder, and ¼ tsp baking powder.
  2. Add 2 Tbsp almond milk, 1 egg white, and 1 tsp almond butter. Stir until you get a thick batter.
  3. Divide the batter into two small ramekins or jars. Press flat.
  4. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for about 8–10 minutes until set, or cook in microwave for 45–60 seconds until firm. Let cool.
  5. In a bowl, mix 3 Tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp vanilla protein powder, and 1 Tbsp almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon the pudding over the cooled base in each ramekin. Top with 10 Valentine’s M&M’s on each dessert.
