Instructions
- preheat your oven to 350°f (175°c) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- in a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- in a separate bowl, mash the bananas, then mix in the dairy-free yogurt, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. if the batter seems too thick, add a splash of dairy-free milk. for the carrot cake version, fold in the carrots and pecans.
- pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. we use a 1 lb caraway pan, so adjust the time and bake a little less if your pan is a larger size. bake for about 48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. for the carrot cake version, bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and adding frosting.
