There seems to be no shortage of overripe bananas around the Fricke Farmhouse! Last week, I was volunteering at our local food pantry. At the end of the night, we still had a box and a half of quickly ripening bananas. We gave away as many as we could, but the leftovers would go to waste, so I took home a bag full. With so many on hand, I tried out a new variation on my many banana breads–Mini Banana Bundt Cakes!

Do I need any special equipment?

All you need is a mini Bundt cake pan. Mine has 12 moulds which make lovely little snack sized cakes. Many pans have six bigger moulds instead. You can definitely use one of these pans, but note that the baking time will increase.

I recommend using an enamel pan because it won’t have the toxic non-stick coating like so many others. Just be sure to grease it very well with coconut oil to prevent sticking!

How do I make Mini Banana Bundt Cakes?

Start by preheating the oven to 425°F and grease the mini Bundt cake pan with coconut oil (be generous). Use a small bowl to whisk the flax seed and boiling water. Let stand for five minutes to make an egg substitute. In a large bowl, whisk the mashed banana and coconut oil.

Pour the flax mixture along with the cinnamon extract (or vanilla) into the large bowl and whisk all the wet ingredients together. Finally, add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix until just combined, being sure not to over mix.

Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Then, scoop the batter into the Bundt cake pan, making each one about ⅔ full. Be careful not to overfill them, as the batter will rise. Bake for about six minutes before reducing the oven temperature to 400°F.

Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Let rest in pan for five minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. When they are totally cool, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for an extra treat!
