Microwave Chocolate Banana Mousse Cake (Paleo Friendly!)
I've been toying around with some of the Paleo cooking concepts, and enjoy them quite a lot. The basic idea is clean eating, minus the grains. In this simple, microwave mousse cake, DOLE bananas lend a natural sweetness, almond butter offers up fab flavor, while coconut flour and cocoa powder lends a scrumptious goodness. If you're looking for a guilt-free, healthy dessert, try this recipe and see if you can't live surprisingly well without added sugar, flour, or other nappy ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 eggs
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa flour
- 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
For the Berry Sauce:
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
- 1 cup fresh blackberries or rapsberries
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender. Puree, then pour into a glass pie-plate, which has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Microwave cake in 1-minute bursts for 4-5 minutes, or until the center of the cake has set. Remove from microwave, dust with cocoa powder, allow to cool before serving.
- In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Microwave until coconut oil is melted. Remove from microwave, stir in berries. Drizzle berry sauce over slices of cake. Enjoy for dessert, midnight snackage, or even breakfast!
