Daily Bean

I’ve been working on a recipe for a healthy smash cake for the Bean’s first birthday! I didn’t want there to be any added sugars, only clean simple ingredients that you most likely already have on hand. I also didn’t want to bother with adding any honey or maple syrup, the bananas and applesauce add enough sweetness. Plus if you have a baby under a year old and wanted to make a muffin version out of this, it would be safe for your baby! Watch the full video for the recipe or follow the instructions below!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup applesauce
• 1.5 bananas
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
• 1 tsp baking soda 

Frosting Ingredients:

• 1 13oz can coconut cream
• Splash of beet juice for color. You can also use ground freeze dried strawberries

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Blend oats to create oat flour. In a large bowl mash bananas. Then add rest of wet ingredients and mix with a hand mixer. 
• Add dry ingredients to bowl and mix until combined. Grease 3, 4 inch ramekins and evenly distribute batter.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 min. Let cool on a rack.
• To make frosting, chill coconut cream in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
• Using just the coconut cream (reserve the coconut water at the bottom) with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. You may need to add a bit of the reserved coconut water if the frosting gets too thick.
• Then add a splash of beet juice (or whatever you want to create the color desired) to the frosting. Freeze dried strawberries ground up are another good option to achieve a pink color. Then frost your cake and serve! Watch the YouTube video for further details.
