Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F / Gas Mark 4. Spray a 12 or 14-ounce (12cm) ramekin, oven-safe bowl or small baking dish with cooking oil spray. Use your fingers or a pastry brush to coat the inside.
- 2
Mix together the blended oats, chocolate truffle protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, fine sea salt and baking powder in a medium bowl until combined well.
- 3
Add the unsweetened apple sauce, liquid egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, and white sugar replacement. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
- 4
Add most of the raspberries (reserve a few pieces for the topping) and gently mix to combine.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin and top with the reserved raspberries and hazelnuts. Refrigerate (preferred) or allow to sit for 5-10 minutes on the counter so that the batter sets and the oats absorb some of the liquid.
- 6
Bake on the 2nd rack from the top of the oven (note 5) for 25-27 minutes or until risen and the edges have slightly pulled away from the sides of the baking dish. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Drizzle the peanut butter and hazelnut cacao spread on top and enjoy warm! Or wait until completely cool and wrap tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil before storing in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave and top with the peanut butter and hazelnut cacao spread just before eating.
