Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup mashed plums
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar
• 1⅔ cups spelt flour
• 1–2 scoops Biogen Complete Whey protein powder, Salted Caramel flavour
• 1 tsp baking powder 
• Pinch of salt 
• Dash of cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg

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

1. In a bowl, mash the bananas. Add the milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and mashed plums. Mix until well combined.
2. Fold in the spelt flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until just combined.
3. 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.
4. Allow the loaf to cool before slicing. Serve with granola crumbs and a drizzle of icing sugar frosting if desired.
