Lemon Chia Seed Cake
Infused with a tangy lemony essence, this light and fluffy cake makes the perfect dessert or afternoon snack! Better yet, the gluten-free, vegan confection clocks in at a mere 60 calories (with stevia) or 90 calories (with agave) per slice.Ingredients:
1 banana, mashed
1 c. vanilla almond milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 small lemon
Liquid stevia (such as 21 drops of NuNaturals vanilla stevia) or 1/4 c. sweetener of choice (such as agave nectar)
1/4 c. coconut flour
1/4 c. millet flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tbsp. corn starch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use coconut oil to grease a 9 in. pie plate. In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed banana, almond milk, vanilla extract, chia seeds, lemon juice, lemon zest, and stevia (or agave). Do the wet ingredients first so it gives the chia seeds time to soften up. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, corn starch, and cinnamon. Combine the wet with the dry ingredients. Pour into the pie plate. Bake for 30 minutes.
Makes eight servings.
