Healthy - You would never guess that this recipe is lower in sugar, gluten-free, dairy-free, and made with minimal ingredients! Each slice has less than 15 grams of sugar. I also did not use any butter or oil! Delicious - If you love classic banana bread, this soft and moist snack cake is sure to be a winner! It's topped with a light and airy homemade coconut cream frosting, and I love adding some chopped walnuts for a little crunch!

Preparing to Bake

Grease a 9x9 round or square baking pan with coconut oil. (Or a non-stick spray.) I also like adding parchment paper to the bottom of the pan to make sure it's super easy to remove!

Helpful Tips

Do not pack the almond flour into the cup. Use a spoon to scoop it into the measuring cup and scrape off the excess with a knife. – To make mashed bananas, peel them and warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This will soften the bananas and make them easier to mash. – Line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal. You can use pre-cut round parchment paper or cut it yourself!
