Creative Story:
The creation of this Fit Banana Cake came from an attempt to transform a favorite childhood dessert into something healthier.
I've always been a fan of banana cakes, but with the search for a food more balanced, I realized I could create a version that didn't sacrifice flavor.
Wanting to add more nutrients and less refined sugar, I combined ripe bananas with natural ingredients, creating something that is not only delicious, but also full of good energy.
A true combination of flavor and health!
