Low Fat Banana Wacky Cake
"Had an old banana laying around, looked up a wacky cake recipe and edited it to the types of food I usually eat. (aka: low fat/healthier) It is pretty gooey, but I may not have cooked it long enough, also a little chewy because of the oatmeal."

This is similar to what we have made for years, called "Crazy Cake", with the addition of oatmeal and banana, which are nice additions! This had a great flavor and was quite moist for being so low in fat. As I was reading the recipe i noticed there was no leavening agent included, so I dug out my Crazy Cake recipe saw that it used baking soda. I added 1 teaspoon of baking soda. I also increased the vinegar to 2 teaspoons.

I am in college at MSU, graduating in May '06. Starting living on my own in an apartment this year, so I love trying out new recipes and learning how to cook different things. Been trying to make all my own food lately, because I am a health freak and processed foods gross me out.
