  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ⅛ cup maple syrup
  • ​2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup cacao or carob powder

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8'' square pan with coconut oil.
  2. Make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax with the water in a small bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 15 min.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl and the dry ingredients in a small bowl, except for the apple cider vinegar and flax egg components.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Add the apple cider vinegar and flax egg stir gently.
  5. Bake cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes:
-You can make this recipe into cupcakes, just shorten the baking time to 18-25 minutes. Check them after 18 minutes. 
-I like cooking my bananas before I use them in this recipe. I usually microwave my for 30 seconds- 1 minute to bring extra sweetness out of the bananas and to make it easier to mash them. Not necessary though!*
