Tips on how to make this the best banana almond swirl cake
- Can you use other sugars to sweeten the mix?
- Absolutely! You can use any kind of sugar to sweeten the brownies and cookies. Remember, some sweeteners may need to be adjusted based on level of sweetness it provides. Also, if you decide to use honey or maple syrup, this can make the batter a bit more runny. You will need to adjust the flour amount!
- Can you use a different flour for the banana bread?
- Yes you substitute almond flour for another flour if you would like. Doing this could alter the way the batter comes out and how it bakes, so you may have to adjust the amount of liquid depending on the type of flour. For example, coconut flour absorbs more water and will need more liquid than almond flour does.
- Can you use something other than Almond Butter?
- Yes you can! You can use any nut butter if you would like to make it exactly how you want. You can substitute this version of honey almond butter for regular almond butter, cashew butter, and even sunflower butter. Really any nut butter would work, but just remember, if you choose something other than almond butter, you better change your cakes name! 🙂
