Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas The riper, the better for sweetness!
- 0.5 cup coconut oil Melted for easier mixing.
- 0.75 cup honey or maple syrup Choose based on your preference.
- 2 large eggs Whisked before adding.
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour You can substitute with gluten-free flour.
- 1 tsp baking soda Ensure it's fresh for best results.
- 0.5 tsp salt Balances the sweetness.
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract For that warm flavor.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a mixing bowl and mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Next, mix in the melted coconut oil and the honey or maple syrup until well combined. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
- Pour the batter into a greased or lined cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice and enjoy your healthy banana cake plain or with a light spread of your favorite nut butter.
Notes
This banana cake is wonderful as a breakfast option or a wholesome dessert. Feel free to add in some nuts or dark chocolate chips for an extra treat!
