Ingredients

	Cakes
2	Ripe bananas
180ml	Carb Killa® Shake, Banana Armour
90g	Coconut sugar
2 scoops	Hydra 6®
320g	Plain flour
1tsp	Baking powder
	Toppings
3	Firm bananas
2tsp	Maple syrup
	Carb Killa® spread, Milk Chocolate
	Carb Killa® spread, White Chocolate Cookie
	Chocolate chips

Method

First, preheat the oven to 170°. Grease a 12-hole mini loaf tin with low cal spray oil, margarine or butter

Next, peel the bananas and break up until chunks. Place these into a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher

Add in the protein shake, coconut sugar and the protein powder and whisk together

Then, sift in the flour and baking powder and, using a rubber spatula, mix everything together – stir up from the bottom of the bowl so that no flour pockets remain

Once mixed, spoon the mixture evenly into the mini loaf tins and bake for 25 minutes. Once cooked, leave them to cool on a wire rack

Time for toppings! To make the caramelised bananas, peel and thickly slice the bananas and place them into a large frying pan with the maple syrup and a small drizzle of oil. Cook them over a medium heat for a few minutes each side until golden

To finish, top your mini pancakes with the caramelised bananas or, if your prefer, slather on the Carb Killa® chocolate spread and sprinkle on some chocolate chips

Devour and enjoy!
