"The best cake I've ever had" according to my 8-y-o. No fat either (well...except for optional chocolate chips!).

Time 55m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bananas (organic, which tend t be smaller)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (try turbinado, which has molasses)
1/2 cup applesauce (flavored OK)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour (all-purpose OK)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip
2/3 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Mash bananas; push to side, leaving a space along bowl's side.
  • Beat eggs along empty side of bowl, then combine with bananas.
  • Stir in sugar, applesauce, vanilla and salt.
  • Shake lightly and evenly across surface of batter, the flour and soda; mix just enough to incorporate.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Go easy on chocolate chips because they can overwhelm the cake.
  • Pour into greased and floured 7"x11" pyrex glass baking dish (or muffin tins, bundt rounds, etc).
  • Bake 40 minutes at 350-degrees (less for muffins, etc.).
  • Frosting is unnecessary but cream cheese (8 oz) & butter (4 Tb) with any flavoring (any syrup, orange concentrate) is yummy.
