Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 2 pieces eggs
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add sugar and melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until fully combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a large mixing bowl.
Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
Roll the crumbs into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Using a fork or toothpick, dip the chilled cake balls into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set by chilling the coated cake balls in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the banana cake balls as a sweet treat or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
