3 Ingredient Toffee Apple Pudding
I never did care for a toffee apple as a child; the chocolate dipped ones are much more appealing! I don’t think that’s changed; I’m the biggest chocoholic you’ll ever meet, but it’s more to do with the chewy texture of toffee which doesn’t match up to the melt in your mouth feel of a rich slab of chocolate.
You could say then that it’s about comfort food, and while what each person classes as comfort food is individual, most foods are all of warm, soft, easy to chew (so not toffee) and sit lovingly and heavy (in a good way) in your belly. Think macaroni cheese, shepherds pie, or sweet syrup sponge pudding.
So this protein toffee apple pudding ticks all the boxes. Warm, soft, sweet, and so easy to make. Eat it as a snack, for pudding, heck even for breakfast, it’s healthy after all.
The maca and lucuma add extra nutrients as well as providing a natural caramel flavour, but you can cheat and use a caramel or toffee flavoured protein powder instead. Most protein powders will work well, both milk based and plant based, but try and get a good quality one with no added sugar and fillers. Awesome Supplements and Reflex Nutrition do good whey ones, Awesome Supplements does delicious vegan powders(use POLLYH05 for 5% off all orders), or go completely natural with Pulsin’s powders (using code PTC20 to get 20% off) and add stevia and vanilla extract to sweeten.
