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, to serve
- Berries, to serve
- Extra peanut butter, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4 to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla whey protein, baking powder, cinnamon, and mixed spice, ensuring they’re evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the mashed bananas, milk, and beaten egg into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth cake batter consistency without lumps.
- Prepare baking dish: Lightly oil a small baking dish or four individual ramekins using flavourless oil to prevent sticking.
- Spoon batter and swirl peanut butter: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared dish(es) and then spoon dollops of peanut butter on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter through the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the baked oats have risen and turned a golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm topped with yogurt, fresh berries, and an extra drizzle of peanut butter.
Notes
- Oat flour can be made at home by finely grinding oats in a food processor if unavailable.
- Use flavourless oil such as vegetable or sunflower oil for greasing to keep the flavors balanced.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with flaxseed egg and use plant-based milk and protein powder accordingly.
- Ensure the bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
