Banana Bread Snack Cake

Good morning!  Before I head off to work, I wanted to send you all this snack cake that has been breakfast,snacks and dessert for the past two days  I love that it’s decadent tasting, but super healthy.  It’s only 150 calories per piece and loaded with fresh bananas.

This recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs, How Sweet It Is.  I absolutely love her recipes, and this one is a healthy alternative to a typical banana cake.  It’s also really simple.  Start by whisking brown sugar into one egg until smooth, then add in bananas and vanilla extract.

Next add your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Then add your melted butter and pour into a greased 8×8 pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min or until tester comes out clean.

Try to wait until it cools before slicing…don’t be like me  The whole house smelled great!

It’s so good, and even better the next day!  Try it out and visit How Sweet It Is for even more great recipes.
