Four Ingredient Banana Nut Ice Cream

After our insanely hard hike on Sunday I wanted a banana but I didn't just want to eat the banana plain because how boring is that?  Plus, all of our bananas were frozen.  I LOVE banana and peanut butter together so this was a perfect fit!  I didn't know how amazing it would be but it was just that - AMAZING!

Clean Eating Cookie Cake Bake

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup sucanat sugar OR Ideal Brown Sugar Blend

• 2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Spray a round, non-stick cake pan lightly with olive oil.

3. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. We find it easiest to use a wooden spoon as it sticks less.
