Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the melted coconut oil and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture just until combined. Gently fold in the greek yogurt, almond milk, and mashed banans. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
- In a large bowl beat together the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and vanilla extract; beat well, until there is no lumps in the mixture.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over the mixture and sift in the sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Taste and add more sugar if needed/desired.
- Place frosting in the fridge for 20 minutes before frosting the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve at once, or store in the fridge until needed.
- Spread on cupcakes.
Notes
- *You may substitute coconut oil with a mild olive oil or canola oil
