3 very ripe bananas
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Spices of choice I added 1/2 teaspoon ginger and 1/8 teaspoon cloves and nutmeg or add 2 teaspoons instant coffee for a mocha version
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup ground raw cashew
1/2 cup ground Oats
3/4 cup Spelt flour or use gluten-free flour blend or 1/4 cup each Oat, millet, tapioca/corn starch
To make it more moistadd 1/4 cup coconut oil or oil of choice(I usually skip the oil)
Add 1/3 cup chocolate chips to the batter for a double chocolate cake

Mash the bananas.
Add vinegar and sugar and mix well.
Heat the coconut milk, add chocolate and melt.
Add melted chocolate, spices(or coffee) to banana and mix well.
If using oil, add now and mix well.
In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup ground cashew, 1/2 cup spelt flour and baking powder.
Add this to the banana mixture and mix well.
Add more spelt flour if needed to get a muffin batter type thick batter. The flour needed will depend on what size bananas you used, the chocolate and oil content.
Add chocolate chips for double chocolate version.
Drop the batter in parchment lined or greased 8 inch cake pan.
Even out and bake in pre-heated 365 degrees F / 180ºc for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick from the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes and remove from parchment.
