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