Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup as a natural sweetener)
- 2 oz. milk (you can use any milk of your choice)
- 1 oz. oat flour
- 1 oz. chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 oz. chocolate chips (for a topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 4-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it becomes smooth. Add the honey and milk to the mashed banana. Mix well until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you get a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Melt the chocolate chips and cover the cake with it. Slice and serve the Chocolate Protein Banana Cake and enjoy!
