i was inspired to make this recipe one morning when we were starving and wanted a filling breakfast, but not necessarily meat (and i can’t have eggs right now in my culinary/health journey).  i was inspired by another recipe i found on paleomg (love her blog!), and created this rummy, chocolatey excuse to eat dessert-for-breakfast.  it’s chocolate-y, crumbly, and almost like a bread pudding in texture.

put a pat of salted butter on top while it’s still warm.  i know, i know, but it’s worth it.

    I like how you used cashews and bananas to create a grain-free banana cake that is moist, fluffy, and decadent. The rum extract and chocolate chips add a nice touch of flavor and richness.
