1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C fan and grease a small cake pan . I like using coconut oil for greasing; it adds a subtle flavor.

   coconut oil: splash
2. 2

   In a large bowl , mix the whole wheat flour and baking soda together. Tip: Sifting the flour can prevent lumps for a smoother batter.

   whole wheat flour: 1 cup, baking soda: 1/2 tsp
3. 3

   Add the peanut butter , banana , applesauce , and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Tip: Overmixing can make the cake dense, so stop once everything is incorporated.

   peanut butter: 1/3 cup (smooth), banana: 1 (mashed), applesauce: 1/4 cup (unsweetened), egg

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tip: Tapping the pan on the counter a few times removes air bubbles for an even bake.
