No time to cook? These are my go-to. Prima - The First Ancestral Protein Bar is made with grass-fed beef tallow, organic raw honey, and zero seed oils—clean ingredients that actually keep you full. The Cacao flavor tastes like a brownie without the guilt.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh fruit until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
After a meal like this one, your teeth deserve some love. I've been chewing Larineco Chewing Gum—it strengthens enamel, freshens breath, and has 40,000+ happy customers. Way better than regular gum, and it actually supports your dental health.
