This yummy slightly sweet cake is full of whole food goodness. It is lovely for dessert, with a cup of tea, or as a healthy mid-day or after school snack.

I prefer it as cooked in a 9” round or square cake pan, lined with parchment paper unless the pan is nonstick, or nonstick muffin tin. By heaping the batter, I got 12 muffins. They didn’t rise.
Preheat oven to 350 F
In a food processor puree the banana with the date paste or maple syrup, applesauce, baking powder, baking powder, vinegar, and vanilla.
Mix lightly the rest of the ingredients in a big bowl. Add the banana mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the baking pan. Bake 40-45 minutes, until tops are brown. Check muffins 5-8 minutes early. Allow to cool before turning out of the pan. Peel off the parchment paper if used.
This rustic whole food cake is good warm, at room temperature, and cold. It may be frozen as well for later use.
