Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat bran, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, granulated sweetener, and almond milk. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 28–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
