Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup oat or almond flour
- 0.75 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, greek yogurt, and honey (or maple syrup) to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the oat or almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cake stays tender.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut the cake into 9 squares and enjoy your high protein banana snack cake!
