Banana and Chocolate Muffin Cake

Banana and Chocolate Muffin Cake

This Banana and Chocolate Muffin Cake is one of the easiest and all-time delicious cake recipes I ever came across.

Moist muffin texture, chocolate, banana flavors, and crunchy almonds on top make this dessert so delicious. This cake would be perfect for those who love it simple, sweet, and sugar-free. Moreover, thanks to being sugar-free, this dessert so low in calories: only 117 kcal (490 KJ) per serving (makes 12 servings).

This Banana and Chocolate Muffin Cake recipe is made with whole-wheat flour. You may choose a gluten-free version, e.g., almond or oat flour (find more delicious gluten-free recipes here). If you are gluten intolerant, make sure to check the oat flour package for the gluten-free label. Since most oats are processed at the same facilities as wheat, they may contain some gluten.

It will make an excellent treat for any occasion: let it be a mid-week baking mood to treat yourself or a dessert for a host-at-home dinner with friends. Enjoy this delicious piece of muffin/cake with tea, coffee, or any other beverage of your choice. And beware: it’s very addictive! Bon appetit!
