Chocolate Banana Flour Cake (gluten free)

Hello lovely people! 

Sometimes a girl just wants a nice slice of cake without feeling guilty. 

This is not a sponsored post by any means but I wanted to share a recipe using “Pereg Banana Flour.” I received a box of Pereg flour to try, and banana flour just called my name. I have never worked with Banana Flour so I was a bit skeptical, but I got to tell you guys that it smells absolutely amazing and it was such a pleasure working with it. 

About PEREG and quoting from their website:

Family owned since 1906, Pereg Natural Foods strives to provide our customers with the best spices and grains the world has to offer. We began as a small cart of spices at the open air market and to this day we have spices in our blood. Producing more than 60 varieties of spices, spice blends, and herbs, along with flavored ancient grain mixes, gluten-free quinoa pasta, couscous, basmati rice, spreads and breakfast cereals. All of the brand’s offerings are 100% pure, fresh and natural and never include any additives, preservatives, fillers, MSG, or food coloring. In addition, every product is OU Kosher certified, and many are Non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free certified, Whole Grain Council approved, and vegan.

I just love their message and the products as well so I decided to post a recipe. This cake is moist, delicious and most definitely addicting, but above all, you feel less guilty eating it. My family really enjoyed having a slice of their cup of Almond milk and I loved it with afternoon cup black coffee. The texture is more like you are eating brownies, maybe because I used mashed bananas which were not included in the original recipe, but I just like how the flavor of banana enhanced this cake even more. 

I hope you guys like this recipe, and if you do happen to make it please tag me on Instagram @sandraseasycooking and use hashtag #sandraseasycooking so I am able to see your delicious creations and share with my readers as well.

Happy Cooking!!!

Recipe Notes

You may add chocolate ganache, frosting or just powdered sugar if you desire. We like the cake as it is so I just added a bit of sweetened cocoa on the top.
