Tools
Ingredients
- 375 g (3 cups) white whole wheat flour, spooned, leveled, and sifted.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 large eggs , room temperature
- 1-½ cups (about 3 medium) overripe bananas, mashed and mix with 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- 1 cup avocado oil or expeller-pressed sunflower oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-½ cup Allulose
Instructions
For the Banana Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line with parchment paper or butter and flour a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, salt, and sugar alcohol until combined. Add the mashed bananas, and mix until incorporated; stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until each egg is fully incorporated into the mixture. Gradually and gently whisk or fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Don't overmix the batter!
- Pour this into your prepared pan and bake the 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 Banana Cake aside to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cookies rack and allow cooling completely.
- Enjoy!
