Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 150 g Fresh blueberries
- 200 g Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 80 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Coconut oil (melted)
- 50 g Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add eggs, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and optional chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
