Tips for Perfect Small Eggnog Protein Cakes

Here’s some tips to get your small eggnog protein cakes perfect so you have soft and airy bundt cakes!

Use room temperature applesauce and Eggs;
This is so the melted butter mixed well with the remaining ingredients.

Use melted Butter so that it mixes well into the healthy mini eggnog cake batter.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the low calorie mini egg nog cakes tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have sugar free and healthy mini eggnog bundts.

Don’t over-fill baking pan cavities or the mini cakes will overflow!

Don’t over-bake the mini cake bites or they might get tough; Remove when the tester/knife comes out just dry; Little moisture is okay.

How to store Mini Eggnog Cake Bites?

Store mini eggnog cake bites at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 days or in the fridge for a 4-5 days.

To freeze the high protein mini egg nog bundt cake recipe, individually wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe zipper bags or air tight container; They should keep for 2-3 months.
