How to Make Whole Wheat Banana Cake
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line with parchment paper or butter and flour a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, salt, and sugar alcohol until combined.
Add the mashed bananas and lemon juice mixture and mix until incorporated; stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until each is fully incorporated into the mixture. Gradually and gently whisk or fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Don't overmix the batter!
Pour this into your prepared pan and bake the whole wheat banana cake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the banana cake comes out clean; check after 40 minutes, and if the cake is browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil.
Set the whole wheat banana cake aside to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it onto a cookie rack and let it cool completely. Enjoy!
