Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, well mashed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mash and Mix Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth. The bananas should be soft enough to easily blend with other ingredients.
  3. Add Cocoa Powder and Maple Syrup: Stir in 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, mixing until the batter is well combined and smooth.
  4. Fold in Almond Flour: Gently fold in 1 cup of almond flour, mixing just enough to incorporate all ingredients without overworking the batter.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper, the better for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix: Gently fold the flour to keep the cake tender and light.
  • Check baking time: Ovens vary, so start checking with a toothpick around 20 minutes to avoid drying out.
  • Add-ins last: If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently as the final step.
  • Let it cool: Cooling fully helps the cake set and makes slicing cleaner.
