Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sattu
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter or A2 ghee
  • 1/2 cup dates powder
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs
  • 2 tbsp chopped almonds and walnuts or choice
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla essence
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp beetroot powder

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the dry ingredients like sattu, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sieve them.
  • Preheat the oven.
  • Separately mix unsalted butter/A2 ghee and coconut milk. Whisk well.
  • Add vanilla essence, cardamom powder, mashed bananas, date powder, and beetroot powder next, and mix until even.
  • Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  • Once done, add a little coconut milk and adjust the consistency.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking tray, sprinkle cacao nibs and bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Power tip

  • If the cake sinks in the middle there are chances that the tray used for baking was too small. Using more milk than the desired quantity makes it sink, too. Be mindful of this.

Variations

  • You can alternate almond flour with amaranth or ragi flour too.

Notes

  • Apart from being rich in protein, sattu has generous proportions of iron, manganese, and magnesium. It is low in sodium.
  • Adding almond flour not only gives it a rich texture but makes it rich in prebiotic fiber, magnesium, manganese, and Vitamin E.
