Milk Chocolate Banana Cake

So this is the third and final loaf of banana bread from last week - milk chocolate banana bread! Unlike the first loaf, it's not made of cocoa powder. This one is made from milk chocolate buttons. Yummm. If you don't like your banana as sweet, go for this one.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond meal

2 large bananas

1/2 cup milk chocolate buttons

1/4 cup coconut oil

1 egg

1 scoop whey protein

cinnamon powder

Preheat the oven to 180C.
In a bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in the almond meal, whey protein, coconut oil and egg.
In a pan, melt the milk chocolate buttons over low heat.
Once the chocolate has melted, pour it into the banana mix and gently mix the two together. If you want swirls, don't mix the two completely.
Grease the loan pan and pour the mix into it.
Sprinkle some cinnamon powder on the top and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

Chocolate Banana Bread

As usual, my boyfriend bought an excessive amount of bananas, so I had to make banana bread before they rot. I decided to try something different! So here's a delicious tasting banana bread with no sugar! You can add a bit of honey if you want, but I think this tastes fantastic on its own served with butter of course!

Ingredients:

2 large bananas

1 cup almond meal

2 eggs

5 tbsp coconut oil

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 scoop whey protein

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease the loaf pan with coconut oil or butter.
Mash the bananas and mix in all the ingredients.
Pour the mix into the pan and bake for 35 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean.
Serve warm with butter!

Banana Bread

My boyfriend likes to buy heaps of bananas and because it’s summer, fruits go bad very quickly. So he decided that he wanted some banana bread! I asked a friend for a recipe and she gave me some great ideas. Here’s what was in the banana bread.

Ingredients:
4 small bananas, mashed
1/4 cup hazelnut meal (which i ground myself and became hazelnut butter instead)
1/4 cup whey protein
3/4 cup almond meal
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil (or butter or olive oil)
cinnamon powder

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Beat all the ingredients together until it is well-blended.
Brush some oil in a loaf pan.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle some cinnamon powder on the top.
Bake it in the oven for about 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
Serve warm with some butter on top!

Protein Shake

Want to get big? Drink this for breakfast! My boyfriend has gotten so big since he started lifting again – gained 10kg of muscles in the past 2 months. I’d like to think that I contributed by feeding him lots and lots of good food. He generally either gets this or bacon and eggs for breakfast if I am bothered to wake up early enough to cook. Weekends I would make something special like Almond Pikelets to change it up a bit… I like to surprise him

For those of you who are looking to get big, his secret is also to drink 2L of milk everyday. That’s right, we get at least 14L of milk every week just for him. And we don’t get the hi-lo or low fat stuff, he gets the A2 milk… when he can afford it. Mostly we just get the normal full cream milk – it’s more accessible and cheaper. But if you’re trying to get used to drinking more than a glass of milk, start by having this protein shake for breakfast every morning!

Ingredients:
250ml of milk
1/4 cup of coconut cream
a banana
an egg
a heaped scoop of whey protein
handful of berries, optional

Blend everything in a blender.

Note: all these ingredients are adjustable. This morning he requested an extra banana and an extra egg in his protein. So what you want to put in it is totally up to you.
