Trying to eat healthily but still missing chocolate and cake? This healthy flourless chocolate cake is a nice go-to recipe to have around for when you just have to have chocolate cake.
Healthy Flourless Chocolate Cake
Are you someone that is eating sugar-free? Or maybe you eat dairy and gluten-free? Well, I have a great recipe you HAVE to try! It is for a healthy flourless chocolate cake! It only takes 3 ingredients to make!
This cake is really easy to make. It cooks in the microwave in one minute and 30 seconds. Or in the oven for about 10 minutes. What gives this cake its slightly sweet flavor is the ripe banana. So be sure to use a really ripe one and not one that is more on the green side.
It is super moist too and not at all dry like some other cakes. While I find this cake is sweet enough on its own, if you are someone that needs things a little sweeter and don’t mind a little sugar, I also have the chocolate glaze recipe included.
Other than the ingredients it takes to make this flourless chocolate cake, you will also need a blender, coffee mug or 4-inch ramekin and oil. The oil is simply for lightly greasing the dish you will cook the cake in. I used coconut oil.

Has a banana taste. Because banana is one of the biggest ingredients in this recipe, the flavor does have a slight banana taste.
The texture of the cake is slightly different from normal flour cakes. Yes, this flourless chocolate cake has a slightly different texture than a normal cake. It leans more to the texture of maybe a flan.
The cake is not sweet enough. Because this is a healthy dessert, it is not as sweet as others. That is because it can be eating when you are avoiding sugar such as a sugar-free diet, Paleo and Whole30.
Like I said above you can add the glaze to the cake using sugar and it will give it a little more sweetness, that is if you don’t mind using sugar.
You could also add a tablespoon of sugar right into the cake batter if you wanted to sweeten it up too.

Bananas are not sugar free though? They are among the most sugary fruits you can eat. I think you mean no added sugar…
Reuse Grow Enjoy says
Yes there will still be the sugar that is naturally in the bananas. However it is still much lower sugar then if you added sugar.

Taste & texture, this was just not good. However, it inspired us to tweak. We may try this again & add a couple TB of coconut flour then cooke it like a pancake.

I read your blog etc and found the recipe, can I use something else to grease the ramikin other than coconut oil as I have a severe intolerance to it? I’m never sure what to replace it with.
Reuse Grow Enjoy says
Hi Elizabeth, you can use butter or margarine to grease it.

Does this have to eaten right away or can I make earlier in day for dessert later

It is best eaten right away. If you do make it early, be sure to store it in the fridge.
