I’m excited to share with you a protein-packed, creamy, and gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Blueberry Cake recipe!

There are a few main ingredients, and it can be done with or without a blender. Let’s jump right in.


Ingredients for the Vegan Chocolate Blueberry Cake:

Bananas

You will need 4 medium bananas – or about 430 grams.

Plant-based protein powder

Here you can use anything you have.

I also wrote an article with 12 (almost) zero waste protein powder brands, so feel free to check it out! 

Cocoa powder

The cocoa will give the cakey texture, as we won’t put any flour in the recipe. 

Tahini

Instead of oil, we will put in a bit of tahini! In case you don’t have any, you can simply use peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc. 

Liquid sweetener

I usually love to use date syrup, but this time I didn’t have any, so I used molasses instead. It worked just fine!

Chocolate

The chocolate pieces are optional, but they are a great addition to this recipe. 

Blueberries 

You will need about 1 cup (160g) of blueberries!

    3. After that, add 50 grams of cocoa powder, and blend.
    4. Then add 30g of tahini and 20g of liquid sweetener - you can use date syrup, agave, or anything you have on hand.

    6. Transfer the mix in a baking dish, and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes, at 180 degrees.
    7. And that’s about it -- cut in in pieces, and enjoy this super light, satisfying flourless blueberry cake!

Notes

It is BEST to eat the cake COLD, so be patient! You can also store it in the fridge.
