Ingredients

Slice

1 banana, mashed

2 carrots, grated

1 red apple, grated

2 cups oat flour

¼ cup wholemeal plain flour

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

4 eggs

¼ cup sugar free maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

1 scoop (30g) True Protein Plant Protein in French Vanilla

2 tsp cinnamon

Icing

1 ½ cups vanilla flavoured yoghurt

1 tbs lemon juice

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven on 170 degrees Celsius.

  2. In a large bowl, mash the banana and grate the apple and carrots.

  3. Add the flours, extra virgin olive oil, eggs, maple syrup, baking powder, protein powder and cinnamon. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  4. Line a large baking tin with baking paper and pour the cake mixture into the tin.

  5. Cook for approximately 35-40 minutes.

  6. This cake is tricky to work out when it’s cooked as the banana and apple moistens it. Remove the cake out of the oven after 35-minutes, cut a slit in it and check to see whether it is cooked. If it is not cooked, leave it in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.

  7. Once the cake is cooked, leave it to cool and then cut it into 8 pieces.

  8. Ice with 1 ½ cups vanilla flavoured yoghurt icing.
