3. Use a spatula to transfer the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything with a fork into a dough. Wrap the dough in foil and place it in the refrigerator for an hour.
4. Once the hour has passed, preheat the oven to 175 degrees and line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper. Then divide the chilled dough into 10 parts and form round balls with your hands. Place the balls on the baking tray and gently flatten them slightly. 
5. Bake the protein-rich mini cakes for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Let the mini cakes cool completely in the oven (with the door open).
6. After cooling you can decorate the mini cakes. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and dip the cooled cakes one by one in the melted chocolate. Place the coated cakes on a rack, sprinkle with the chopped chocolate peanuts and let the chocolate harden completely.
