Low carb banana and strawberry cake

Low carb doesn’t mean you can’t have your cake and eat it too! Try this cake as a vegan alternative with a twist.

What you need

  • 4 small ripe bananas
  • 130 g wheat flour
  • 60 g buckwheat flour
  • 60 ml coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp xylitol
  • 1 egg (or egg replacer if going vegan)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 10 strawberries, halved
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180C.
     
    Peel the bananas and place them in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blitz until smooth.
     
    Add in the egg, oil and xylitol, then mix again. Next, add in the flours and baking powder, and blitz until a smooth batter form.
     
    Transfer the batter into a greased or silicone cake tray. Place the halved strawberries on top and bake for around 60 mins, until the cake is golden brown and cooked through.
