Cake for breakfast that tastes like a treat but packed with protein for a fun breakfast for kids!
Want to make something a little different for the kids for breakfast that’s fun, delicious and healthy too? Try my Breakfast Cake!
It’s actually a cross between a cake and sheet pan pancakes. A little denser than a cake but packed with protein and topped with sweet berries.
Start by mashing a banana in a large bowl and adding the rest of the wet ingredients to it – eggs, yogurt, milk, honey and vanilla extract.
Whisk well until all the ingredients are well combined.
Add in the self raising flour and mix that with a spoon.
Pour the mixture into a lined dish and then top with frozen berries.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Once out of the oven leave it to cool for a few minutes before lifting it out of the tin.
Then cut into 9 squares.
This is delicious served warm with some yogurt on the side.
It also keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days and can be frozen too – see all the storing, freezing and defrosting instructions below.
