This swirly healthy chocolate banana cake is delicious, ooey, gooey and totally grain-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan! Since there are no eggs, the center will be a bit gooey while the top will be more crispy.
Healthy Swirly Chocolate Banana Cake (Paleo & Vegan):
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds mixed with 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Mash up the bananas or process in a food processor until smooth. In a separate bowl mix the ground flax seeds and warm water and let sit for a few minutes until it gels.
- Add remaining ingredients to food processor or mix together in a bowl, make sure to add the gelled flax and water.
- In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and add the cacao and sweetener until well blended. Turn off the heat.
Pour the banana mixture into a 5x9 inch loaf pan. Use a silicone spatula to smooth it out evenly. Carefully drizzle the chocolate mixture like in the photo above. Then use a butter knife or skewer to drag up and down to create a design in the cake.
- Put the cake in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Remember this is a gooey moist cake, since there are no eggs, the center will be a bit gooey while the top will be more crispy.

October 30, 2013 at 5:03 pmThis looks delish! I’m assuming the flax seeds are a sub for eggs, and am wondering how many eggs is that-since I do eat them? Can’t wait to make this tonight with my 3yo 🙂
Thanks!

February 21, 2014 at 10:04 amCan I do this with pumpkin instead? Allergic to bananas. Would I have to add sugar?

I can’t have eggs, flax or chia seeds. I have found a few egg substitutions, but have you tried any and if so, which ones have worked??

October 23, 2014 at 3:56 pmAre you able to have psyllium husk powder? It works fab as an egg replacer, same method as chia and flax seeds. Hubby’s mum also used to use golden syrup, but it binds a lot less.
