Cinnamon Banana Cake GF/DF

Kayla Castle • Aug 22, 2021

I was looking to whip up a quick dessert after a long day and this creation was delicious. Gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. This cake is all the sweet and wholesome goodness minus the sugar and gluten. I frosted mine with organic vanilla coconut frosting but that is optional and would taste delicious without. 

Recipe

Ingredients:
• 1 cup Oat flour
• ½ cup + 2 tablespoons Almond flour
• ½ cup maple syrup
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 2 bananas
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• Frosting of choice, I used Organic Vanilla Coconut Frosting 


Method: 
1. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. 
2. In a large bowl combine the mashed bananas, maple syrup, egg and oil of choice. Slowly mix in the oat flour, followed by the almond flour. Stir till mixed, then add in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla extract. 
3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes till done. Test with a toothpick. Let sit on wire rack till cool. When cool frost with frosting and enjoy!

Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
