Healthy Banana Cake (Bowl Recipe) : healthy, vegan and with included video

This recipe was first shown in my IGTV video on Instagram. But there was no 'real' recipe, so here it is. The banana cake is made for a small bowl ( 10 cm or 3,9 inches). It isn't vegan but healthy- no butter or sugar. For all of you who prefer an even sweeter variation, you can add some coconut sugar if you want. But in fact, the overripe banana is sweet enough. I haven't made the cake in the microwave yet but you can try it if you want. I bake it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.  So let's start with the easiest and most delicious banana cake!   Recipe: Ingredients: 1 egg 1 pinch salt 1 mashed overripe banana 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil 1 tbsp.
