CAKE TIME!

I was feeling like crap yesterday, so I decided to make something! And boy, was it a good idea. Since I’m off work(I work at Starbucks) I missed having the Banana Chocolate Chip Cake there, but those go for almost 400 calories! So I made my own! It tasted so good. Both my mom and youngest brother approve!

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup non-fat or 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup white flour
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 6 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • PAM spray

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix banana*, egg, and milk together. Add sugar. Mix.
    *I peeled and froze my bananas, then let them thaw. I also recommend using very ripe bananas for a sweeter taste.
  3. Combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in seperate bold.
  4. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well.
  5. Add 5 tbsp chocolate chips and stir.
  6. Spray cake or muffin pan with PAM.
  7. Pour batter into cake pan. If using muffin pan, pour about 3/4s full.
  8. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake on middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and cool before serving.
  11. Eat up and enjoy the heck out of it!

*My little brother had his with peanut butter, which also tastes really good!

Makes 12 pieces/muffins

And of course, ingredients can be substituted for even more healthier choices. (ex. Stevia instead of sugar)

intechgirl: Almond butter is an alternative to peanut butter for those with peanut allergies. It contains significantly more fiber, calcium, potassium, iron and manganese than peanut butter, and about half the saturated fat, although a slightly higher total fat content.
