Pump’d-Up Banana Cakes

Healthy, high fiber twist on banana bread

Pump'd-Up Banana Cakes - Healthy, high fiber twist on banana bread
What’s better than banana bread? Pump’d-up Banana Cakes! Why? Because you still get all the flavor of banana bread, without the excess calories, sugar or fat. I added pumpkin to make these cakes even more moist with the added benefit of extra fiber. Each of these cakes has 4 grams of fiber to satisfy your hunger and keep those cravings at bay. The banana slice in the middle adds an extra special cheat-like texture that you will just love to sink your teeth into. With only 140 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 8 grams of protein per cake, go ahead and enjoy guilt-free!




1 cup oat flour (or you can use regular oats and grind them into flour)
2 TB coconut flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 TB cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
8 packets stevia (or your favorite sweetener)
2 large bananas
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup egg whites, lightly beaten
1/3 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
1 TB vanilla extract

How to Prepare (so simple!)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Coat a 6-cup muffin tray (I used a fancy mold, but you can use a plain jumbo muffin tray) with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Mash one banana and cut the other one into 6 even size pieces. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and stevia together.
5. In a separate large bowl, mix the mashed banana (leaving out the 6 pieces), pumpkin, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended.
6. Gradually stir the dry blended ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and continue to stir until a smooth batter is formed.
7. Pour the batter evenly into each of the 6 muffin forms. Take the 6 banana pieces and put one each into the center of the batter in each of the muffins.
8. Put in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the side of the muffin (don’t stick through the banana) comes out clean. Enjoy!
