Serves: 1 9-inch cake
 
Ingredients
  • coconut oil for greasing the pan
  • 1 cup creamy or crunchy, unsweetened, unsalted peanut butter, raw or roasted
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch ground nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup very ripe mashed bananas (2-3 bananas)
  • Optional: ¾ cup chocolate chips
  • ½-1 extra banana, sliced to place on top of the cake
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with unbleached parchment paper.
  2. Place all ingredients (except optional add-ins) in a Vitamix and blend until completely smooth and well combined. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
