Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a natural sweetness)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (or unsweetened applesauce for a lower-fat version)
- 4 units mashed bananas
- ¼ cup water (or almond milk for added creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan lightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and oil (or applesauce) until well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas, followed by the water (or almond milk) and vanilla extract.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
