Maple Pecan Banana Cake

I have a treat for you! This cake is awesome and only takes a few minutes to whip up! It's super easy and delicious!!!  I took the cake to work today and all my co-workers loved it!

I love maple syrup and don't find many recipes in it. The sweet part of this recipe is all maple syrup! We start off with mashed bananas and mix it up with some eggs, maple syrup, and margarine. Add the dry ingredients. Top the cake off with pecans and maple syrup. Bake and enjoy!

I hope you love this cake as much as I did!  Enjoy!

Look at those beautiful pecans!!!

Cake:
-3 bananas mashed up
-1/4 cup of softened margarine (very soft but not melted)
-1/2 cup of maple syrup
-2 eggs
-2 cups of all purpose flour
-1 teaspoon of baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon of salt

Topping:
-¼ cup of flour
-½ cup of maple syrup
-1 cup of pecans


Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8x8 or 9x9 pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Mix up the mashed bananas, margarine and maple syrup.
  3. Add the eggs.
  4. Fold in the flour, salt and baking soda.
  5. Once mixed, place into the pan.
  6. Now, mix up the topping. Whisk together the syrup and flour. Fold in the pecans.
  7. Drop spoonfuls on the top of the cake. You want to evenly cover the cake with the pecan mixture.
  8. Sprinkle some salt over the pecans. You do not want much but it certainly makes a difference.


9. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. The cake is done when a knife entered comes out clean  Enjoy!
