This easy to make cake is a good treat to have in the cake jar.. It’s sweetened predominantly by the bananas and some coconut sugar which can be left out. 5g of coconut sugar has a glycaemic index of approx. 54 but the glycaemic load is only 30.

Most importantly it is simple and fast to make and can be enjoyed by the whole family.
