does coconut oil give a good texture to the cake? can olive oil be used?

Deletewow... this bread looks really tempting...
ReplyDeletethanks a lot !!
DeleteSujatha: i am keen to try this as the husband and i both love banana cake. A Q: when you say blend the flax seeds with water do you mean make a kind of paste. Instead can i use flax seed pwd? If so please tell me the proportions. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNisha, I made it as a paste and used. I haven't tried with powder. I guess it should work if you mix a 1 tsp powder with 2 tbsp water.
DeleteAlso i couldnt find the coffee proportions :)
ReplyDeleteIts called a coffee cake because it is mild sweet that goes well for coffee / tea . No coffee powder used in this recipe :)
DeleteHi Sujatha! Thanks for sharing this at Fiesta Friday. I giggled when you described the cake as 'guilt free' as well....I love it when I can find delicious recipes that are also guilt free. It looks like a great breakfast as well - I always like a healthy cake or granola bar when I wake up. Looking forward to your future posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! Yes, since its mild sweet , it can be taken for breakfast too. My pleasure for taking time and going thru the recipe and sharing your comments.
