Ingredients

• 3 pieces (medium-sized) Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Mixed dried fruits (e.g., raisins, chopped dates, apricots)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit for topping (optional, e.g., sliced apples, pears, or berries)
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted) or unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square casserole dish or baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.

Step 5

Fold in the dried fruits and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. If desired, arrange fresh fruit slices or berries on top for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

Step 7

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the casserole cake from the oven and let it cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
