Ingredients

Cake:

1 ⅓ cup brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ripe bananas pureed (@ 1 cup)
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup oil
½ cup water
2 Tablespoons flax seed meal
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice

Easy "Caramel" Sauce:

2 Tablespoons SunButter or other nut/seed butter
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon coconut milk canned
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line the bottom of a 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
In another medium bowl, mash the bananas until pureed. Whisk in the honey, oil, water, ground chia or flax seed, vanilla, and vinegar.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Move to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting.
For the "caramel" sauce: Place the SunButter and honey in a small microwaveable bowl. Heat for about 20 seconds until warmed through and easy to mix. Mix the honey and SunButter until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk and the vanilla. Serve on top of the Banana Sheet Cake and anything else you like! Makes 1/3 cup "caramel" sauce.
