Instructions
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Add the banana(s) and the egg to the blender canister. Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
Blend on high until the batter is completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl. Add the heaping 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir them in gently by hand with a spatula (do not blend, or the chips will be pulverized).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top lightly with a spatula.
Evenly sprinkle a tablespoon or two of extra mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake for about 25 minutes, beginning to check at 20 minutes. The cake is done when the center is set, the top is springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (no wet batter). Baking time may vary.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, until it has firmed enough to remove. Remove from the pan and cool further before slicing.
Store the cake airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 4 months.
