2 INGREDIENT HEALTHY NO BAKE BANANA CAKE
Steps:
- Line an 8 x 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork or spoon until it becomes puree consistency. Stir in coconut flour until evenly mixed. Your mixture should thicken and resemble a cookie dough consistency. You can taste and adjust as needed. If you find your mixture is too wet, you can add a little extra coconut flour.
- Spread mixture into prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth out the surface. Wrap cake loaf pan with plastic wrap. This will prevent the bananas from oxidizing too much and turning the cake brown or gray. Place into fridge for about 1 hour to let cake firm up slightly, making it easier to slice. Cake can actually be eaten without refrigerating it but it will be easier to slice if it is refrigerated. When ready to serve, slice cake. I don't recommend slicing ahead of time because the bananas in the cake will oxidize and change the color of the cake from light yellow to a brown or gray color. I also recommend only slicing as much as you will be eating to preserve the color.
- To make frosting, whisk together cream cheese, greek yogurt and maple syrup. Taste and adjust as needed. Frosting can be added before or after the cake is refrigerated.
- Store uneaten cake and frosting in the fridge in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- Add flour and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly combined. Then sift the mixture. To do this, run your whisk rapidly back and forth until your flour mixture becomes light and powdery. This step is needed because it is difficult to break up any flour lumps after you add the liquid because of the lack of fat.
- Add in the mashed bananas and water. Whisk until batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. When cake is done it should be lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted should come out clean. The cake will be paler than your typical banana cake because of the lack of fat. Let cake cool completely before removing and serving. If frosting your cake, also wait until it is fully cooled before frosting.

Finally tried this cake a few days ago after having it in a folder since 1981. It worked very well. I did not try it with the frosting since I served it as a simple snack cake to pack in lunches. I do believe I am in love with no-bowl cakes! I baked this in an 8 inch square pan and it needed the 35 minutes in my oven.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to ensure that the cake is smooth and moist. You can use a fork, potato masher, or even a food processor to mash the bananas.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the cake from drying out. The ideal baking temperature for banana cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
No-bowl banana cake is a quick, easy, and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
