Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 4-inch cake pan. Mash bananas in a bowl.
  2. Whisk in egg, applesauce, vanilla, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  3. Fold in oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Scrape batter into pan, smooth top, and bake 25-28 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  5. Spread frosting over the cooled cake and serve.

Notes

If you don’t have a 4-inch pan, a 6-inch pan works too; check for doneness a few minutes early. The cake can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature wrapped tightly. Frost right before serving.
