How to Make Cinnamon Banana Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 11x7 inch glass baking dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  4. Add 1/2 cup honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the bowl along with 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 cup water.
  6. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite cereal (e.g., crushed cornflakes or granola).
  8. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle generously with 1-2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  12. This cake freezes superbly! Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
