## **Instructions**
### 1. **Preheat the Oven**
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)** and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
### 2. **Prepare the Wet Ingredients**
In a large bowl, mash the **bananas** until smooth. Add the **eggs**, **unsweetened applesauce** (or mashed avocado), and **vanilla extract**. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
### 3. **Add the Dry Ingredients**
To the wet mixture, add the **almond flour**, **baking powder**, **cinnamon**, and a pinch of **salt**. Stir until smooth and well-combined. If you’re using a natural sweetener like **stevia** or **monk fruit**, add it according to the recommended amount for the sweetness you desire.
### 4. **Fold in Optional Add-ins**
If you’d like to add some texture or flavor, now is the time to fold in any optional ingredients such as **chopped nuts**, **dried fruit**, or **sugar-free chocolate chips**.
### 5. **Pour and Bake**
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for **25-30 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
### 6. **Cool and Serve**
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and serve! You can enjoy it as is, or top it with some whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce for an extra treat.

## **Customization Tips**
– **Flavor Variations**: Add a tablespoon of **cocoa powder** for a chocolate-flavored cake, or mix in some **lemon zest** for a refreshing citrus twist.
– **Nut-Free**: If you’re avoiding nuts, you can substitute **coconut flour** for the almond flour, but be sure to adjust the amount as coconut flour is more absorbent.
– **Add Spices**: Spice it up with **nutmeg**, **cloves**, or a bit of **ginger** for a warming flavor.
– **Top It Off**: For a festive touch, you can top this cake with a **cream cheese frosting** or a light **yogurt glaze** if you want to add a little extra indulgence without too much sugar.
