I would like to introduce you to these amazing banana bread cake bars that are only sweetened with bananas and a touch of date sugar! These bars are so fluffy, caramel-y and full of banana flavour! These can be eaten for breakfast, as a post-workout snack, an afternoon snack, or dessert. Lets be honest, you can eat these whenever your little heart desires because they really are that GOOD!
I have been eating a paleo diet for a couple years now. I am definitely not strict with it, I still eat my fair share of popcorn and grains from time to time. But I know that eating grain and dairy free most of the time really does make me feel better in so many ways. I sleep better, my digestion is so much better and I have less fatigue and cravings throughout the day. Once I started eating paleo I fell in love with paleo baking! There is so many ways to make your favourite dessert into something so delicious and nourishing for your body, made without refined sugars! Nobody would even know that it’s not the real deal.

Mix together melted coconut oil, cinnamon, date sugar & almond flour for the topping. Evenly press this mixture into the bottom of the pan on top of the bananas. Now pour in your cake batter, over this mixture.
