Introduction
About this Recipe
By: Amanda Higgins
A cake made without refined sugar & wheat free filled with banana and chocolate. This cake has so much goodness it can be eaten for breakfast. The banana adds all the sweetness, combined with the dark chocolate, almond butter and coconut flour it definitely delivers on taste.
Coconut flour is gluten-free made solely from coconuts. It is rich in fiber and MCTs, it may promote stable blood sugar, good digestion, and heart health. It can also boost weight loss and fight some infections.
