Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 240g oat flour
- 60g vanilla whey protein
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp mixed spice
Wet Ingredients
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 250ml milk
- 1 egg, beaten
Additional Ingredients
- Flavourless oil, for greasing the dish
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- Yogurt, for serving
- Berries, for serving
- Extra peanut butter, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4, preparing for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla whey protein, baking powder, cinnamon, and mixed spice. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the mashed bananas, milk, and beaten egg to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter achieves a cake-like consistency, smooth and well blended.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly oil a small baking dish or four individual ramekins with flavourless oil to prevent sticking.
- Assemble Batter: Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Drop the smooth peanut butter onto the batter and gently swirl it through to create delicious pockets of flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the oats have risen and the top is golden brown and firm to touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm topped with yogurt, fresh berries, and an extra dollop of peanut butter for a tasty finish.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired, though bananas provide natural sweetness.
- This recipe works well in individual ramekins for portion control and quicker baking.
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat before serving.
