I found this recipe via Hannah Grant, @dailystews on Instagram - I love her training-friendly recipes! Made as described, the cakes were tasty but very soft and not really portable, and a bit too oily for my preference. I also froze them as the soft texture suggested they'd begin to go furry quite quickly at room temperature.
My variation was to omit the fat (to be honest I meant to add a small amount but forgot!), and have both oats and protein powder. I had some trial 40g sachets of Purition and chose to add one turmeric and one almond. I added a good spoonful of ground ginger, and with no suitable fresh fruit to hand I used jumbo raisins, pushing 4-5 into each cake and smoothing over the top. They turned out delicious and much more robust than the first batch. Slightly lower in calories and higher in protein, of course.
I like them as a quick snack, or for breakfast with Greek yogurt and fruit.
Per cake (made 12): 167 cals, 7g protein, 22g carbs, 6g fat.
Update: added a tbsp of cocoa powder, orange zest instead of lime, and a scattering of dark chocolate chips. Warmed before serving, OMG.
