Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup skim milk
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Stir in the skim milk and melted coconut oil until the batter is smooth. Ensure that there are no lumps.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on the rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice and serve the Sugar-Free Maple Cake as a dessert or enjoy it with your afternoon tea.
