Banana-Flax Breakfast Cake
It's hard to resist a slice of this moist and flavorful banana-flax breakfast cake. Made with real bananas and flaxseed
Ingredients
- 2-3 ripe bananas mashed (totalling about 225g)
- ½ cup maple syrup 160g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour 180g (regular whole wheat will probably be fine; the cake is not delicate at all)
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup ground flaxseeds 52g (I used golden)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the banana, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg until well combined.2-3 ripe bananas, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 egg

- Stir in the baking powder until just combined.2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pour in a greased 11 x 7 baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in the middle. Mine took exactly 26 minutes.
- You probably should let it cool but I couldn't wait. We dug right in.
