I made you a cake and I flipped it up side down.
And between the peanut butter in my hair (this took forever to get out), spilled milk in the fridge and ah hello, the snow (yes, it is still snowing. Sun, please come back and warm my bones!) it was the highlight of my day.
Oh, and please do not tell me you are sick of bananas or peanut butter. Cause I know it seems like half the things I post contain at least one of these two ingredients. There is the super healthy Coconut Banana pancakes, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana muffins (that are the best cookie/muffin creation), oh geez and the Peanut Butter Oreos, the Double Chocolate Peanut Butter stuffed Truffle Cookies (my Dad swears these are the best cookies he has ever eaten), the Pomegranate Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and of course a Gerard family favorite Special K-Bars.
I know, I have a problem and actually, there are still MORE.
Really though what is not to like? Bananas keep things moist and naturally sweet so I can use less butter and sugar. Peanut butter on the other hand, is well – just plain addicting. And hey, it’s packed with a whole lot of protein, another bonus! Note –Â if you have a peanut allergy, I am sorry, but you can swap in almond or really any other nut butter into any of these recipes.
Seriously, the moment I flipped this cake out of the pan to reveal its caramelized deliciousness, I knew it was going to be good. Then when I drizzled the peanut butter caramel sauce over the top, I just about jumped for joy at this cake’s amazingness.
No really, I jumped for joy. Like I have said before I need a life, and this was exciting!
Flipping cakes upside down is awesome! This is my first upside down cake and I now have like a million more in the works. Prepare yourself.
Ok, so here is the thing. I had every intention to make this cake a healthy one. Full of bananas, peanut butter, coconut oil and whole wheat flour. And for the most part this cake is super healthy and I would totally consider this a well-rounded snack or even serve it at Easter brunch for something sweet. But, then IÂ started adding butter……
Then things went a little down hill.
But, only just a little. See, I just HAD to add some brown sugar to help caramelize the bananas and then the whole sauce thing just had to happen. I mean it definitely makes the cake. Hey, don’t look at me that way. I tried, and like I said, three-fourths of the cake is totally healthy.
Three-fourths is good enough for me.
