Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Carrot oat skillet cake

Cooked in a skillet, it tastes like carrot cake.

Rico's note: A Sunday classic — make a double batch and eat the second half the next day, cold, straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1 carrot (61 g / 2¼ oz)
  • 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz)
  • 70 g (2½ oz) cottage cheese (or low-fat Greek yogurt)
  • 50 g (1¾ oz) cookie-flavored oat flour (or plain)
  • 50 g (1¾ oz) protein powder — or 50 g oat flour + sugar to taste
  • ground cinnamon, to taste
  • 1 square 85% dark chocolate (5 g) — no added sugar: sugar-free 85% dark chocolate
  • olive oil, for greasing

Method

  1. Blend the banana, carrot and cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
