Banana-Sweetened Paleo Breakfast Cake (gluten-free)

Banana-Sweetened Paleo Breakfast Cake made with ingredients like almond flour, nut butter and sweetened with a little banana!

For all my banana loving friends, this one is for you! 

Cake for breakfast? Yup, you read that right. I made us this Banana-Sweetened Paleo Breakfast Cake and will officially be eating cake for breakfast for the foreseeable future.

This Banana-Sweetened Paleo Breakfast Cake is made with just seven ingredients and is gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free.

Plus the only added sugar comes from the natural sweetness of the ripe banana. No maple syrup, coconut sugar, nada! Yes, I 100% added chocolate chips at the list minute (I will blame the pregnancy cravings there) but after testing this a few times without any, I can assure you this cake is delicious with or without the added chocolate! I also have added in chopped pecans to spice things up, which was epic for an extra crunchy somethin’ in the cake too.

I love warming up a slice of this cake and pairing it with some coconut yogurt, granola and anything else I have handy and am craving for breakfast. Or let’s be real, it tastes delicious as a snack or dessert too. A solid lower sugar option for anyone who isn’t eating added sugars at the moment or just wants a little something lighter but still tasty.

I use ingredients like creamy nut butter, almond flour and tapioca flour to make the cake.

I also use two of my baking staples in this recipe: Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract and Simply Organic Cinnamon.

If you are a frequent baker, there is a 99.9% chance you are also using these two gems in your baking at home. In my opinion, they are two of the most underrated ingredients when it comes to baking. I use Simply Organic’s Pure Vanilla Extract, which is derived from vanilla beans grown in Madagascar (um, awesome!). It has no sugar or artificial ingredients and just adds a pure organic taste to anything you bake with it.

Their organic cinnamon is one of my personal faves and addictions. It is a Vietnamese cinnamon, which has a deep and rich cinnamon-y flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. I sprinkle this on pretty much everything! Hands down my favorite spice ever. Banana + cinnamon + peanut butter is literally the best combo in the whole world.

This Banana-Sweetened Paleo Breakfast Cake is: lightly sweetened, extra moist from the ripe banana and so simple and easy to make. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!

A few of my other favorite recipes to bake with bananas: Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Banana Apple Bread, Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Bread and the classic Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (nut-free).
