I found this recipe online but adapted it because we are not gluten/dairy intolerant. I wanted to share it because it is healthy and so easy. Elias LOVES it!
Banana Cinnamon Protein Quick Bake
- 1/2 banana
- 5 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
- 3 tablespoons protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground flax meal
- 4-8 tablespoon milk (any kind will work!)
- Mash the banana until egg-like.
- Add in all other dry ingredients and stir together.
- Mix in the milk, starting with 4T, and adding more until just a soft but thick batter is formed.
- Grease a small microwave safe dish with butter/coconut oil/cooking spray.
- Spoon in the dough [which should be like a very thick muffin batter] and spread evenly.
- Microwave on high for 2-3min, until the center is set. If cooked long enough, the texture will not be at all gummy.
- Release from the dish with a fork.
tips/subs: To make it gluten free, you can use oat flour or buckwheat. 3T pumpkin puree or 2.5T unsweetened applesauce can be subbed for banana. If adding chopped nuts or chia seeds, add 1T more milk to prevent drying out.
If you do not have vital wheat gluten, consider using part whole wheat/part all-purpose flour.
