Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (or try this low carb Keto Cake Recipe)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder or additional unsweetened
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup sugar (refined sugar free: Chocolate Banana Bread)
  • 1/3 cup mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or almond butter (or additional banana for low fat)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the chocolate banana cake, grease an 8 inch square pan or line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients, and stir very well. Stir in remaining ingredients just until evenly mixed. Spread into the pan. Sprinkle chips on top if desired. (See video earlier in this post.) Bake on the center rack 25 minutes, then let cool. Cover loosely with a towel overnight, either on the counter or refrigerated. The taste and texture are even better the next day, if you can wait!
