Banana Orange Cardamom Crinkle Cakes. Incredibly flavourful little cakes with fragrant citrus and spice. Great for lunchboxes and coffee breaks.
We are definitely on a mission around here! That mission? To make sure no over ripe, brown speckled bananas ever get thrown in your trash.
And we are very committed to that mission! From Banoffee Pie to Banana Bread Cookies, we have added a LOT of banana recipes over the past 11 years. In fact a quick search of the site shows a total of 33 recipes that use bananas.
For sure there will be more in the future. Why do we always over buy bananas anyway?
Oh well, with great treats like this one to use them up, that just may be a blessing in disguise.
These great little lunchbox treats are just as easily made as muffins if you do not have the mini loaf pans. I love the exotic flavour of cardamom but if you are not a fan, just substitute cinnamon or allspice for an equally delicious alternative.

Notes
Sometimes I sprinkle top tops of the crinkle cakes with turbinado sugar before baking as pictured.

Oh oh, The recipe says preheat oven to 350F, then it says bake at 325F for 20 - 30 etc. I was doing them in muffin pans so I went with the higher temp and just watched them. You might want to edit?
Can I substitute applesauce for the oil in this recipe?
I've never tried that.
Did you try it? You should be able to sub applesauce for at least half the fat in any baked recipe
