How to Make Low Fat Chocolaty Banana Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or your preferred sweetener).
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting (optional).
