Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 0.5 cup (100g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 3 tbsp (42g) coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp (45g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
  • 12 oz (340g) dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) coconut oil
  • Gel food coloring
  • Sprinkles

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. Whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Stir in the almond milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
  6. Crumble the cooled cake into a bowl using your fingers or a food processor until it resembles fine sand.
  7. Fold in the Greek yogurt and lemon juice one tablespoon at a time until a smooth, clay-like consistency is achieved.
  8. Roll the mixture into small balls and insert cake pop sticks.
  9. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour to stabilize.
  10. Melt dark chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil using a controlled melting technique (microwave or double boiler) to prevent seizing.
  11. Add gel food coloring to the melted chocolate to match school colors.
  12. Dip each chilled cake pop into the chocolate, decorate with sprinkles, and set on a Styrofoam block until firm.
