Low calories banana cake....healthy & yummy!

Yesterday I made this delicious banana bread/cake. And because it turned so scrumptious, even if it has no artificial sugar and only healthy ingredients, I want to share my recipe with you. So here it is....



Ingredients
250ml wholemeal flour
pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
cinnamon (as much as you like)

3 bananas (you can use ripe, regular or slightly soft bananas)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
3 teapoons Sweet Freedom Natural Sweeteness Syrup (100% from fruit)
200ml soy milk
1 tablespoon olive oil

sprinkle on top:
cinnamon
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut

Preparation
1. Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl.
2. Mash the bananas in a separate bowl; and add to the dry ingredients.
3. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4. Preheat your oven.
5. Grease your cake tin with soy butter; and pour the batter.
6. Bake for about 1 hour or slightly more.
7. Half way through your baking, add the extra cinnamon and coconut which you mixed together on top of the cake and continue baking.
8. When ready, let the bread/cake cool for about 1 hour and then transfer to serving plate.

The above recipe yields a 23 cm by 11.5 cm bread/cake. If you divide the cake into 8 slices, each slice will have about 196 calories.

LoveToBeWOMAN

If someone would ask you if you preferred to be reborn man or woman what would you answer? Definitely I would want to be a WOMAN. With much respect for men and for all their capabilities, I would never give up the possibility of being feminine. Femininity is not only about beauty, makeup and fashion but is also about the gracefulness, fineness, tastefulness which make the female gender so attractive. As women we have the special gift of becoming mothers and of making our partners fathers. We can do all the things that men do and much more.
Every woman should feel lucky to be so and should celebrate femininity by taking care of herself. The ways through which I like to care about my femininity is by taking interest into skincare, makeup, sense of fashion, healthy eating, fitness and living in style and making the most out of the tips I learn.
So if you are interesting in getting to know my opinion about skincare, makeup, clothes, accessories and much more based on my experiences and preferences read my posts. I will be glad to answer questions and provide advice but especially make new friends.
