Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s protein cake is a lighter-style cake made using ingredients like eggs, yogurt, nuts, or oats to naturally increase protein content, often combined with reduced sugar for a more balanced nutritional profile.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)

    • 2 large eggs

    • 100g oats (blended into oat flour or used whole)

    • 50g ground almonds

    • 100g Greek yogurt

    • 60g honey or maple syrup

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Pinch of salt

Optional add-ins:

    • Dark chocolate chips

    • Chopped nuts or seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a small cake tin.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

Mash bananas in a bowl until smooth with slight texture remaining.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add eggs, yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.

Step 4: Prepare Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix oats (or oat flour), ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Combine Mixtures

Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture. If using protein powder, mix it in at this stage.

Step 6: Add Extras

Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if desired.

Step 7: Bake

Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool and Serve
