Step-by-Step Guide:
With your ingredients at the ready, let’s get started on your two-ingredient marvel.
Step 1: Banana Prep
Kick things off by peeling the bananas and chopping them into chunks. Toss these pieces into a food processor and blitz until smooth. If a food processor isn’t handy, a trusty fork will do the job just fine. Move the pureed banana into a bowl.
Step 2: Add the Sesame Seeds
Stir in a cup of sesame seeds into your banana mash until they’re fully mixed in. Follow up with the second cup, ensuring the mixture is evenly blended.
Step 3: Get Set to Bake
Prep your baking sheet with parchment paper for a non-stick surface that’ll make clean-up a snap.
Step 4: Form the Cakes
Place a small round mold on your prepared sheet, fill it with the banana-sesame mix, and press down with a silicone spoon. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, spacing the cakes apart.
Step 5: Bake Time
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the cakes cool a bit before digging in. Enjoy your handiwork—a homemade, nutritious breakfast cake!
