Baby's 1st Birthday Banana Cake - No Sugar
"I wanted to feed Lucy cake on her first birthday but didn't want to introduce her to new foods on her big day. I also baked it ahead of time so she could sample the cake two to three days in advance in case of a reaction (I didn't actually decorate it until the day of her party). Recipe adapted from a blog called greenparenting (I reduced the egg white, and left out the walnuts/raisins suggested)"

It should maybe be pointed out that Smarties in Canada are chocolate candies, similar to M&Ms but wider and flatter. (What US residents know as Smarties are called Rockets in Canada.) -
I found this while looking for a lower sugar option for my baby. I'll make it and pop back .on to review. Thank you for posting!!
