Date Nut Snack Cake









I have to admit, in my sugar free journey, this recipe is on the fringe of creating cravings.  Soooooo, if you are concerned about keeping those reactions at bay, this one may not be for you.  How’s that for honesty.  For those of you who do not fight with sweets, and can have one and be satisfied, please read on.  And, let me start by giving a shout out to all natural ingredients, void of the white powder.  Each of these 8 enjoyable pieces are only 268 calories, 43g carbs, 4.7g fiber, 38.3g net carbs, 10g protein and 8.4g fat.  Nice little kick of protein for a treat in your day, ehhh!?

Ingredients for 8 servings~
3 medium mashed ripe Bananas
3 Extra Large Eggs
1/2 cup/4oz unsweetened Applesauce (feel free to grind your own)
3 cups Oats
12 chopped Dates
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Dash Cinnamon 
Dash Vanilla
1/4 cup chopped Walnuts

Add Bananas to mixing bowl, along with Egg and beat til smooth and well blended.  Continue to incorporate Applesauce, followed by Oats, Dates, Baking Powder, Cinnamon and Vanilla.  Pour into parchment lined 7X11 and top with Walnuts.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes, remove from oven, cool, and slice into 8 pieces, store leftovers in fridge for a week, for freezer for longer.  Enjoy 😉
