Healthier Chocolate Banana Cake
I’m always looking for healthy breakfast choices. I watch my sugar and carbs and breakfast can get a little boring for me. After months and months of eating wasa crips, Weight Watchers cereal, fruit, hard boiled eggs, etc., I was feeling the need for a treat in the morning. I found this recipe ages ago and clipped it out of a magazine. I can’t even tell you what magazine or who the author was, so if this is your recipe, please let me know!
It’s not “healthy, healthy” hence the title of “healthier”, but if you use dark chocolate chips and leave out the mini chips on top, it’s not too bad at all. I used Truvia Brown Sugar blend so that kept the sugars down.
This makes a small 8×8 cake. I can tell you it tastes just as good as an “unhealthy” cake cause my boys both ate most of it on me. I had a piece for breakfast on Sunday morning and was anticipating another slice for Monday morning, but when I woke up my cake pan was empty. That’s life with two teenage boys in the house! Nothing is safe!
It’s a delicious little cake.
