Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the banana flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk them into a smooth and happy little family.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Don't overmix, you want that light and fluffy texture.
Fold in those luscious chocolate chips and walnuts with a big spoon, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice that beauty up and get ready for a flavor explosion! This cake is moist, tender, and bursting with chocolatey goodness. You'd never guess there isn't a single banana in sight!
