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.
