Banana Protein Breakfast Cake
This banana protein breakfast cake is the ultimate sweet breakfast! Protein-packed but without cottage cheese, totally gluten-free, and incredibly yummy.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 egg whites
- 1 whole egg
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup see notes
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder I use a dairy free powder, but you can also use a whey protein powder if you tolerate dairy
- 2 tbsp gluten free oat flour
- 1 tsp grain free baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp dairy free mini chocolate chips optional
- Flaky salt to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 7x5.25" baking dish well (I use this set).
- Using a tall measuring cup, add the banana, egg, egg whites, vanilla and maple syrup. Use an immersion blender to blend well until smooth. Alternatively, you can also use a blender.
- Add the protein powder, baking powder, oat flour and cinnamon. Blend until until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and add mini chocolate chips on top (if using).
- Transfer to the oven. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the cake is set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving topped with flaky salt!

Notes
Serving Size: This recipe is a large serving, but you can easily split it up into two servings. I like to split it up with my son, and eat something else like bacon or sausage on the side!
Blending: You can use either an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the batter.
Sweetener: I find this cake to be pretty sweet with the ripe banana. However, if you'd like it sweeter, you can add extra maple syrup on top!
