Banana coconut mini bundt cakes are a decadent little dessert to serve at your next party! Gluten free and allergy friendly, too!
We’ve had a few celebrations over here in the last month or so, and because of that I have a stockpile of dessert recipes. I feel like there’s no better way to start the week than with a cute little mini dessert!
So remember when I bought my little mini bundt pans at the thrift store?
That was one of my best finds! They’re so fun because you can make a regular cake batter – chocolate, vanilla, whatever – and when you bake it up in the mini bundt pans, it’s instantly fancy! Serve normal cake, and everyone’s like, “Oh yay, I love cake!” Serve mini bundt cakes, and people are all, “Wow! Look at that! Oohlala!! So fancy!” (More or less, your mileage may vary).
Anyway, these banana coconut mini bundt cakes were a sweet little treat, and a great way to use up the endless supply of brown bananas in my freezer. If you want to be healthier, you can do coconut sugar instead of cane sugar. You can also skip the chocolate if you want, and just dust them with a little confectioner’s sugar.

Instructions
