Got 3 ripe bananas in the fridge and decided to make banana cake this morning. I have modified the traditional banana cake recipe to make it healthier but it is every bit as tasty. You can make this recipe as organic as you like.
Here's what I used:
1/3 cup of grape seed oil
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1.5 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of organic brown sugar
1 large organic egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 ripe organic bananas
a pinch of sea salt
Steps:
- Set the oven to 350F
- Mash the 3 bananas in a large mixing bowl
- Add all the remaining ingredients and mix them until you get a smooth batter
- Pour the batter into a 4x8 inches loaf pan and bake around 55 minutes to an hour
This takes 10 minutes to make. It's one of the tastiest and easiest dessert/snack you can make.
Tips:
- You can substitute the oil with yogurt to make it even healthier but I find the bread doesn't rise as high and it's a bit more dense
- Try not to use non-stick bakeware as it contains teflon, which causes cancer. Use a glass or aluminum pan
