Why You Should Try This Recipe:
This banana cake recipe is not only delicious but also healthy! By using almond flour and whole wheat flour instead of white flour, you'll get a cake that's higher in protein and fiber. The use of coconut oil instead of butter or vegetable oil also adds some healthy fats to the mix, and the addition of walnuts (if using) provide some extra omega-3 fatty acids.
Furthermore, bananas are a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C and B6, making this cake a great way to incorporate more fruit into your diet. And cinnamon not only adds a delicious flavor but also has some health benefits, such as improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation.
Tips for Success:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe enough. They should be completely yellow with brown spots.
- Use a fork to mash your bananas instead of a blender or food processor. This will give you some nice banana chunks in your cake.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead. However, keep in mind that this will make the cake less healthy.
- If you're not a fan of walnuts or don't have any on hand, you can use pecans or leave them out altogether.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
So what are you waiting for? Give this delicious and healthy banana cake with cinnamon a try and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
