I’ve gone and done it…”What have you done?” You ask.

Well … I created Banana “Nut”ella Cake. Oh. Yes. I. Did!

It tastes like cake to me, but if you’d prefer to call it a brownie, I sure won’t argue. As long as you don’t eat it with out me!

This is not entirely “whole food”. BUT you can make it whole food with just a few minor changes.

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 over ripe banana
1 cup Nutella
1 egg
1 cup flour

Pre-heat oven to 350°

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 over ripe banana

1 egg
1 cup Nutella

Mix batter until everything is well blended.

1 cup all-purpose flour

Mix until the flour disappears into the batter. Scraping the sides as needed
Pour batter into a 9 in non-stick baking dish
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes
about 20 minutes into the baking, use a toothpick to check if cake is done
Cut and serve warm with ice cream. Easily serves about 6-8 people

There are several things I love about this cake:

Nutella. No explanation required or needed
The cake is light and fluffy
The cake isn’t too sweet. You know how some fudge and brownies are so sweet you can only take a few bites. Yeah, me neither.
The recipe is quick, easy and fun…The kids will love helping out in the kitchen with this recipe. They’ll even want to lick the beaters.

Top with homemade whip cream
Serve it with homemade vanilla or banana ice cream (heck have a scoop of each)
Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts
Go really crazy and top the ice cream WITH homemade whip cream, sprinkled with nuts and served with bananas on the side…kind of like a Banana Nutella Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae Oh My Word…what have I just done 🙂

I think this will be another family favorite and can’t wait to hear about how you served it.
