Banana cake with banana flour
This is somewhere between banana bread and banana cake.

Source:: https://easyrealfood.com/banana-flour-banana-cake/ (but I've modified it a bit)
Directions:
Optionally, you can ice it once fully cooled. I didn't, but it'd be nice with the usual cream cheese frosting, if you eat dairy - or I gather there are such things as vegan butter and vegan cream cheese, so sub those in. (6 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature plus 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature. Beat with hand or stand mixer until creamy. Add 2-3 cups confectioners’ sugar, plus 1 tsp vanilla extract & a pinch salt. Beat until fully blended, adding the sugar until the consistency's right.)
Ingredients:
⅓ cup + 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
⅓ cup maple syrup (I used low carb fake maple syrup plus an additional 1/2 cup powdered allulose sweetener)
2 large eggs
2 large ripe bananas mashed (~1 cup total)
⅓ cup canned coconut milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 to 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
1/3 to 1/2 tsp salt, to taste
2 cups green banana flour
*optional add-ins: chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, banana slices
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8” square baking tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the oil and maple syrup together together, plus sweetener if not using real maple syrup. Add the eggs and whisk well; then whisk in the mashed bananas and coconut milk. (If the coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, warm it for 10 to 20 seconds in the microwave.)
Add the baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Add banana flour, and using a big spoon, stir just until combined. Fold in optional extras if desired. If not using the additional sweetener, or sweet extras like choc chips, test the final batter for sweetness and add extra brown sugar if needed.
Pour the batter into your baking paper-lined baking tin. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the cake on a board or rack and let it cool before enjoying. I always ignore that though, and eat the first slices warm, and it'd be good with melting butter on it as well.
It was a success, baked up well into a dark brown, moist cake with a good banana flavour.

The stats for the original version said there were 8g carbs and 108 cal per slice/serve (un-iced). I used slightly more flour but artificial syrup so it probably came out the same. Any added extras would alter that, of course.
