  • Next, start by making the cinnamon sugar mixture or the bottom. Combine the cinnamon sugar and melted coconut in a bowl and mix until a crumbly texture forms. Then transfer into the bottom of the pan and spread out evenly.
  • Then cut up 1 banana into coin size pieces and place them on top of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Now to make the cake in a large bowl mash the 3 bananas until smooth, if there are a couple of chunks that is fine. Once that is mashed, add in the melted coconut oil, nondairy yogurt, vanilla, and almond butter. Mix well.

  • Once that has all been combined, transfer the mixture into the pan and spread evenly over the cinnamon sugar.
  • Place it into the oven for 30-35 minutes depending on your oven or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 20 minutes. Then you can place a plate over the pan and flip it over to reveal the upside cake.
