‘I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside’.
My little has been asked for cake, after having it at a few birthdays and at a few playdates, so I wanted to find a recipe where that I would be happy, he could eat any time of the day and that I could pack for him to take to school.
I adapted this recipe from one using peanut butter from Feeding Tiny Bellies.
This is a very simple, no flour, no nut, no dairy cake. It has lots of nutrients from the banana, sunflower butter, and egg, so your little can literally have their cake a eat it.
Sunflower butter is a great substitute for nut butters. Sunflower seeds have significantly more magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, copper and selenium than almond or peanut butter. From an Ayurvedic perspective they are also easier on the digestion and good for cholesterol control.
Ingredients
- ½ cup banana puree (1 large banana, mashed)
- 1/3 cup sunflower butter
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
- Place all the ingredients apart in a bowl and mix till combined
- Pour into a small lined or oiled baking tin
- Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean
