Method

Why I Like this Recipe

I make this high-protein chocolate banana breakfast bake when I fancy something warm and sweet in the morning, but do not want to spend much time in the kitchen. The banana and cocoa turn into a soft, cake-like base in the microwave, and the yoghurt protein layer makes it creamy without feeling heavy. A little peanut butter and dark chocolate on top make it feel more like a treat, which is probably why I keep coming back to it. It is simple, filling and ready in a few minutes, so it works really well on busy mornings when turning on the oven feels like too much.

Tips and Variations

  • Try Greek yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt if you want a thicker topping and more protein.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to change up the flavour.
  • Add some sliced banana on top before serving for extra sweetness and texture.
  • If you want a sweeter yoghurt layer, mix in a little honey or maple syrup.
  • Add crushed walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts on top for a little crunch.
  • You can make it ahead and keep it in the fridge overnight for an easy breakfast the next day.

Meal Storage

Store the banana breakfast bake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The texture stays creamy and the flavours get even richer after chilling.

Freezer tips

Freeze the banana chocolate base (without the yoghurt topping) for up to 1 month. Wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

Let the frozen base thaw in the fridge overnight. Add the yoghurt topping and chocolate drizzle after it has thawed for the best texture.
