Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup mashed plums

- 1⅔ cups spelt flour
- 1–2 scoops Biogen Complete Whey protein powder, Salted Caramel flavour

Biogen Complete Whey is a delicious, high protein shake that contains a precise blend of high biological value, fast and slower digesting proteins. The ideal ratio of whey, casein, milk protein concentrate, and plant proteins in this product provides a timed-release formulation with a superior amino acid profile that allows for optimum nitrogen retention.
Method
- In a bowl, mash the bananas. Add the milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and mashed plums. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the spelt flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf tin. Bake at 180°C for 30–40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Allow the loaf to cool before slicing. Serve with granola crumbs and a drizzle of icing sugar frosting if desired.
