Keto Banana Cake Protein Frosting
Some times you just want a small batch of something delicious. This keto friendly banana cake with frosting can fit that bill! Using the newest member of the KetoChow lineup, Banana Bread makes a yummy banana cake that takes me back to my childhood!
When KetoChow released their new Banana Bread flavor, I was immediately reminded of my grandmother’s banana cake she would make us with a cream cheese frosting.
Having that whole cake hanging around would dissolve my resolve when trying to be reasonable with sweets and treats. It was so stinkin’ good!
Knowing myself, I decided to give my grandmother’s cake a keto-update. However, even a whole keto cake isn’t great when you’re trying to be mindful. So this small batch, perfect for 2, cake was just the the ticket.
The added benefit is that with just half the cake, we’re getting half a serving of KetoChow which is loaded with protein and ⅓ of the daily nutrition for the typical adult.
Using my Low Carb Flour Alternative gives bulk to the cake without any weird textures or flavors, and the extra eggs add more protein.
To really bump up that protein content, blended cottage cheese makes for a perfect alternative to cream cheese frosting!
