Recipe: Guilt free, easy and delicious blueberry protein cake

As a wise lady Julia Child once said – ” a party without cake is just a meeting” and I couldn’t agree more especially when it comes to birthdays. However as much as we would love cake for that particular moment afterwards there is always a regret feeling, especially when we talk about carrot-walnut cake – my favorite.

Last weekend was my boyfriend’s brothers 25th birthday and as we are all clean eaters than had to find some alternative to have his birthday candles put in somewhere. After a short brainstorming I came up with a marvelous alternative how to have your piece of cake “clean and lean” and completely without a guilt. My solution was a protein cake – a Banana and Blueberry Protein cake.

Really fast, easy and oh, so delicious! here is how:

Banana – blueberry protein cake

1 cup oats (flakes or already blended – no difference)

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp natural sweetener (I use Nebtevia)

1 1/2 cups of blueberries
