Banana Cinnamon Swirl "Cake"

So this recipe is titled as a cake with no exclamation marks around it, but I'm not entirely sure this should be called a cake. It's good don't get me wrong, but I kinda feel that it's more of a muffin type concoction. Not that by putting it in a muffin tin will change anything... but next time I'll probably just make mini muffins out of this.


Ingredients:

(Cake)
3 Ripe Bananas (mashed)
1 Cup Almond Flour
1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
1 tsp Vanilla
1 TBS 100% Organic Maple Syrup
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup Walnuts
Handful Macadamia Nuts (optional- I just threw some in as I had leftovers)

(Swirl)
1 Ripe Banana (mashed)
2 Tbs Cinnamon

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease your 8x8 cake pan with coconut oil. (Tip- I learned) place your coconut oil in your pan and put in your preheated oven for a few minutes- your oil will melt nicely so that your cake doesn't stick to your pan.

Mash your 3 bananas in a large mixing bowl. 


Next combine all of your other cake ingredients into the same bowl you mashed your bananas in.


And Mix.


Now pour you "cake" batter into your cake pan and set to the side.


Take your other ripe banana mash it, and combine it with your cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.


Once your swirl mixture is mixed together simply spoon it (individually) right on top of your cake.


Now take a knife and swirl the cinnamon banana mixture into the cake. (It should look something like this)


Bake at 350 for around 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
