Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and olive oil or melted coconut oil. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your sugar-free banana spice cake as-is, or top it with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or yogurt for an extra treat!
