    Hello cutie patooties!

    What do you think about a big slice of carrot cake for breakfast? Sound delicious but maybe a little unhealthy, isn’t it? Well, this shouldn’t be a problem anymore because I just discovered a way to eat this in the morning without feeling guilty. It’s super easy to make, you’ll only need an oven and a pan. Moreover, I think it’s one of the best way to start your mornings like this, your kids are gonna love cake for breakfast and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too!
    Ingredients:

    Cake:
    • two ripe bananas 🍌, mashed
    • two cups oats (fine or rolled)
    • 1/4 cup wholemeal plain flour or, if you want, you can put 30 grams of vanilla protein powder instead
    • 3-4 grams ground cinnamon (I put about 6 grams but I just love cinnamon)
    • 3-4 grams baking powder
    • 1 big carrot, grated
    • 1/4 cup crushed walnuts
    • 10-20 grams agave syrup/maple syrup/honey (depending on how sweet you want it)
    • 400-500 ml milk of choice (start with 400 and add more if needed)
    • vanilla extract

    Topping:

    • two heaped tablespoons of greek yogurt mixed with one heaped tablespoon of cream cheese (you can use low fat if you want it less caloric)
    • some crushed nuts
    • more maple syrup or honey 🍯 or agave syrup

    Instructions:

    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit)

    In a heat resistant pan mash your bananas, then add the oats, grated carrot, flour or protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, crushed walnuts, sweetener, milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and mix well until you get a smooth texture.

    Let it cool for at least 1 hour, after that you can add the topping. Mix the Greek yogurt with the cream cheese and spread it on your cake, sprinkle some crushed walnuts and drizzle a little maple syrup and the perfect breakfast cake is ready!

    I like to make mine one day before so I can enjoy it in the morning. You can keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days but you need to cover it, otherwise it will get dry. It’s perfect for meal prep over the week.
