Banana–Walnut Cake with Blackberry–Almond Butter Sauce

This cake is a great way to use overripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter the flavor, so just a small amount of Date Syrup is needed. Coarsely crushed walnuts provide a welcome crunch, and the Blackberry-Almond Butter Sauce adds a bit of healthy decadence if you want to spoon it over the cake.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tablespoons warm water (for the flaxseed)
  • cups mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 large bananas)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • ¼ cup Date Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • teaspoons aluminum- and sodium-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup coarsely crushed walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a small cup or bowl, combine the flaxseeds and water. Stir well, then set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, soy milk, Date Syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and flaxseed mixture. Mix well.
  • Whisk in the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until evenly mixed. Fold in the walnuts. If the batter is too thick, stir in a little more soy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Transfer the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a plate. Cut the cake into squares and place each serving on a small dessert plate. Spoon some of the Blackberry-Almond Butter Sauce over each serving (if using).
