Whenever I buy a bunch of bananas I always always always have a few leftover that I don’t feel like eating plain on their own. And sometimes I just don’t have the time to bake a whole loaf of Banana Bread. So I make this super quick and healthy Single-Serving Peanut Butter Banana Microwave Cake!
Did I mention that this Healthy Single-Serving Peanut Butter Banana Microwave Cake is also TOTALLY guilt-free?? It’s filled with fruit, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats, without any added sugar or oil.
You won’t believe this soft and sweet cake is gluten free and vegan, all for you, and only you 🙂

Stir in the oat flour. Add the peanut flour and stir well, making sure there are no clumps (stir ~1 minute).

Now that’s what I call a balanced breakfast lunch and dinner and dessert! With only 9g of healthy fats, 12g of fiber and 24g of complete protein, you sure can’t go wrong. Far better than typical microwave cakes, which can have a whopping 72g of fat (!!!), plus refined flour, and white sugar.
Takes a few minutes to make and a few minutes to “bake.” Run to your microwave. NOW! 😉
