LOW SUGAR HEALTHY CAKE/SMASH CAKE

I came up with the easiest, tastiest and healthiest cake (OR smash cake) you’ll find. I made this for our sweet boy’s first birthday and he loooooved it! Now our little girl will soon be 1 and we will make this again. 🙂
No added sugars or chemicals, no preservatives, no corn syrup and is also gluten, grain & dairy free! You only need three ingredients for the cake (which is just like moist banana bread!) and then just use your favorite whipped topping or a thick yogurt as a filling. That’s it!
EASY, HEALTHY, DELICIOUS.
The best part is you WON’T shock them with a serious sugar overload on their special day!
Send it to any mama who would love to make this!
Kid friendly & Nutritionist approved. Enjoy.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 banana mashed
  • 2 tbsp almond meal
  • Coconut oil for pan
  • This is for one mini cake. I made 6 so you just repeat this process for however many cakes you want. I also used a heart-shaped cutter.
  • FILLING:
  • Coconut cream whipped topping or use a thick low sugar yogurt or nut butter would work!
  • Chocolate Chips for decorating I used Lily’s

Instructions
 

  • On a pan on low to medium heat, add in some coconut oil and place a heart-shaped pancake ring (or just make a pancake size). Add the mixed batter per cake. Cook 2-4 mins each side, making sure they don’t burn. Make however many cakes you want, I did 6. Let cool.
  • Next, place one cake on a plate. Top with the filling of your choice. Note: you could also add nut butter or bananas! Now top with another cake. Repeat process. I decorated the last layer for the top cake with additional whipped topping & chocolate chips. When assembled, put in the freezer. Don’t forget the candle. Enjoy!!!
