Apple Cake

Nutritionist Fran Dargaville was looking for a (not too) sweet treat, so she came up with this delicious real food apple cake, with a (not too) secret ingredient… cricket powder! Organic Cricket Powder is a complete protein source (AKA it contains all of the essential amino acids), it’s good for your gut (acts as a prebiotic) and it has a very mild flavour – a perfect way to add some extra nutrients into baking. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Fran!

Ingredients:

1 tbs (10g) Grilo Cricket Powder
1 cup almond meal
2 tbs arrowroot flour
1½ cups finely chopped apples (skin on)
2 eggs
3 tbs honey
¼ cup butter or coconut oil, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and stir until well mixed. Then add remaining ingredients to mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.

Pour mixture into lined loaf tin and bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.

Serve with coconut yoghurt.

“I’m so happy I’ve found a way to sneak some high quality protein, prebiotics and B12 into baked goods and smoothies using Grilo’s Cricket Powder. It doesn’t have a strong flavour at all, so it’s a great way to sneak in extra nutrients without compromising on flavour.”
