CAKE INGREDIENTS!
2 very ripe bananas 1/3 cup melted coconut oil!
1 egg - whisked!
1/2 cup sugar = optional!
1 tsp vanilla essence!
1 tsp baking powder!
1 1/2 cup of flour or nut or seed meal - see tip below!
!
TIPS:!
• Source organic, good quality ingredients - don't skimp on the eggs, who wants eggs from
stressed out chickens! not me. !
• Use black bananas - let them get way ripe - then you are using natural sugars, instead of adding
sugar in.!
• If you are in a cold environment - give your coconut oil a hot water bath = place the coconut
container in hot water whilst getting all the ingredients out and prepped.!
• Sugar - if you are new to cutting out sugar try the recipe with 1/2 cup then 1/4 cup and then none.!
• Sugar choices: coconut sugar, rapadura sugar or raw honey, maple syrup - I suggest using only
1/4 cup for liquid sweeteners.!
• Flour - I use 1 cup mix of seed meal: sunflower, pepita, flaxseed, buckwheat to make it school
friendly + 1/2 cup of wholemeal spelt flour. You can make it 100% on nut or seed meal - it will be
very moist and you can increase to 2 cups and 2 eggs.!
• Mill your own seeds or nuts fresh!
• Use activated seeds or nuts for maximum nutrition and ease of digestibility.!
