Classic Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting (Gluten Free)

This Classic Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting is a delicious snack cake with just a little extra added sweetness from the frosting! It's a great afternoon pick me up and totally satisfies that sweet tooth after dinner. To frost it, I used Simple Mills Chocolate Frosting, which I think was just the perfect pairing. It's organic, made with coconut oil, and has the best whipped & creamy texture! You can definitely use your favorite chocolate frosting, though, or even make your own!

Here's what you need for this Classic Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting:

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time45 mins

Ingredients:

 2 Eggs
 2 Ripe Bananas, mashed
 ¼ cup Maple Syrup
 ¼ cup Peanut Butter (or Almond Butter)
 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (liquid, or melted & cooled)
 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
 2 cups Almond Flour
 1 tsp Baking Powder
 ¼ cup Chocolate Chips (dairy free if necessary)
 ½ cup Chocolate Frosting (I love the chocolate one from Simple Mills)

Directions:

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or grease with non-stick spray.

2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs well. Add mashed banana to the bowl, then add the vanilla, maple syrup, peanut butter, and melted coconut oil. Mix well using a stand mixer, hand mixer, food processor, or fork/whisk.

3

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder. Sift this mixture to thin it out, if there are chunks (especially with the almond flour).

4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix well until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and shake to evenly spread it out.

6

Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are just browned and the middle is baked through (use a toothpick to check).

7

Allow the bread to cool, then spread frosting over the top and add sprinkles and a little flaky sea salt. Let cool in the fridge to help set the frosting, then enjoy!
