  • 1/4 cup Swerve Sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • Wet Ingredients
  • 2 cups mashed bananas 4-5 very ripe medium bananas
  • 4 eggs preferably pastured, remember Omega 3's
  • 1/3 Cup melted Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1 tsp alcohol free vanilla extract

  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • For the Frosting optional:
  • 1 Package Cream Cheese {softened}
  • 1/3 cup Confectioners swerve sweetener

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • How to make apple butter
  • Start off by blending the apple in a chopper or blender and pulse for a few minutes until it gets the consistency of apple sauce.
  • In a sauce pan add the grass-fed butter, add mashed apple cook at low heat until both ingredients are combined and slightly golden. That is your apple butter. Set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients.
  • Start off by beating the eggs, then add coconut oil, bananas, apple butter, vanilla and mix. I did it all with a hand whisker( Don't worry about over-mixing flourless cakes or anything— usually the more you mix, the better!)
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix.
  • Prepare a 8" round bakeware with coconut oil cooking spray or grass-fed butter.
  • Bake on center rack at 350 for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a comes out clean.
  • Cool in bake for 5 minutes or so then transfer to wire cooling rack. They're also delightful when warm!
