Super Healthy Chocolate Crunch Pound Cake
Okayyyy, you are probably thinking this much chocolate can NOT be healthy for ya, butt let me tell you why I love this one.

- It has collagen which has SO many health benefits (My collagen is Vital Proteins. You can find it on Amazon here.
- Has no flour so it is low carb! The cocoa powder definitelty helps and is essential for this recipe!

Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s see what else is important before you start throwing everything together!
Chocolate Crunch Pound Cake Tips
- The pan you use matters! There isn’t necessarily a wrong answer here, but a metal loaf pan distributes the heat more evenly than a ceramic pan.
- Do not overcook. Baking this for too long will make it dry. If that happens, I would add some Cool Whip on top or have it with your coffee/milk.
- CHOCOLATE. Load this baby up with chocolate. If you are a chocolate lover then I say go ham with adding chocolate morsels. You can also use whatever morsels fit your dietary needs. I ended up using Lily’s Sweets sugar-free semi-sweet morsels to keep this low carb and low sugar.
