Hi Kiran,

I usually use 1/4 cup of applesauce for each banana. If the batter seems really runny, add a little ground flax seed. I hope that helps!

Best,

Hi,

This recipe looks great but I am out of bananas. I do have plenty of applesauce. How could I substitute the applesauce in lieu of the bananas in this recipe? I am worried that the applesauce is runnier so am not sure what to do. Thanks!

Hi Trish,

Why not try a gluten-free flour blend? I can’t guarantee the results, but I suspect that an “AP” substitute would work fine 🙂 I hope that helps!

Hi Sarah,
The cake turned out really well, but the frosting ended up being really goopy and sticky. It wasn’t spreadable after I put it into the freezer. Any idea on what I could have done wrong? Is there a particular step you need to be careful on? I used regular agave instead of honey. The color of the frosting was also darker, but I wonder if that was because I didn’t have light agave at home.

Hi,
Just wanted to leave a comment for you. I recently tried this since I have been looking for a good banana/carrot cake recipe. I substituted flax for eggs, but the whole cake is so good considering it’s basically sugar free. The icing makes the cake extra special. I loved it and wanted to thank you for it 🙂
