A delightful banana cake snap combines the moist, sweet flavors of banana cake with a crisp, snap-like texture. Perfect as a snack or dessert, this treat is easy to make and irresistibly tasty.
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spoon to create a thin, snap-like shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the banana cake snaps to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve once cooled and enjoy the crisp, banana-flavored cake snaps.
