Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 overripe banana
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp runny peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Topping:

  • 1 tbsp dairy-free or regular cream cheese
  • 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking pan or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cake.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe banana until smooth. Whisk in the runny peanut butter, egg, and vanilla bean paste (or extract) until well combined. Then add the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and baking powder, stirring thoroughly to form a smooth batter without lumps.
  3. Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is cooked through.
  4. Make Topping: While the cake cools, mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter, vanilla bean paste, and honey (or maple syrup) until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  5. Serve: Once the cake has cooled, spread the creamy peanut butter topping evenly over the top. Slice into portions as desired and enjoy this wholesome breakfast cake immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy cream cheese with dairy-free options to keep this recipe vegan.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly topping.
  • Ensure the banana is overripe to provide natural sweetness and moisture.
  • This cake can be enjoyed warm or cold, depending on your preference.
  • For added texture, sprinkle chopped peanuts or seeds on the topping before serving.
