Prep Time:
2 hours, 30 minutes
Cook Time:
35 minutes
Servings:
16 cake pops
Ingredients
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons white vinegar
½ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups oat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup protein powder
½ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ + ½ cup peanut butter, divided
2 cups 70% dark chocolate chips, melted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, then grease the pan.
In a large bowl, combine the milk, vinegar, yogurt, and oil.
Add the flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool, then crumble the cake into a large bowl.
Add ½ cup peanut butter and mix until the batter is wet enough to form into balls.
Form into 1-inch balls and place on a wax-lined sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Once firm, insert a candy stick into each cake pop.
Dip each pop into the melted chocolate until covered, shake off the excess, then stand on a styrofoam block to dry.
Microwave the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and add to a piping bag.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the cake pops and let dry before serving.
