Chocolate Chips Banana Cake

Many thanks for my colleague, Sim for this recipe. I really love Sim’s banana cake and I think that is the best banana cake that I ever had.

I make this banana cake with her great recipe – as usual, I substitute normal flour with Almond flour and sugar with low-carb sweetener. I brought this to office and everyone likes it. No flour?! No one believe it. Melting chocholate chips + banana is really a great indulgence!

See here for my low-carbs and gluten-free Chocolate Chips Banana Bake.

Ingredients:

70g Almond flour
30g Coconut flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter
3 eggs
2 over-ripe bananas (mashed)
50g of coconut palm syrup or honey (I got this coconut palm syrup as a gift from my boss!) xD
30g of dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C and greased the baking pan
2. Mix Almond flour, Cononut flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl
3. Add in Olive oil/ butter, eggs, mashed banana, syrup to the dry ingredient and blend with hand mixer for 3 minutes (or until well blend)
4. Add in chocolate chips and fold gently with spatula, set batter aside for 5 minutes (to allow baking soda to react)
5. Scoop batter into baking pan or cup cake sheets. Bake for 40 minute until toothpick check comes out clean.
6. Cool and serve

Make one mini loft of approx. 8 slices and 6 mini cupcakes

P/S: My boss also so kind to give me a healthy sweetener --- >>> a Low GI and gluten-free Coconut Palm Syrup. I’m so blessed :)
