I threw this delightful little cake together in celebration of my little one turning 18 months old.

I wanted something without refined sugar, relatively healthy, and with one of his favorite flavors (banana!).

I was incredibly happy with how it turned out! Moist, fluffy, and with an almost sponge-like texture. The flavor has just the right amount of banana, a slight touch of cinnamon, and only a subtle bit of sweetness. It is perfect!

Being that it is not overpoweringly sweet, we ate the leftovers for breakfast. It is ridiculously good! (And, so very easy to make!)

A decadent, yet guilt-free treat . . .

If you are looking for a healthy dessert or a slightly sweet breakfast option, with only simple wholesome ingredients — this will not disappoint!

💭 Top Tips

Flours

I do not recommend replacing almond flour, but the tapioca flour can be replaced with any starch of choice (arrowroot, potato, etc.).

Vegan or Egg-Free Option

You can replace the eggs with 3 flax or chia eggs. Use one 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed or chia seeds and 1/2 cup water to replace the eggs.
