This Healthy Chocolate Bundt Cake is crazy delicious! It is luscious, fresh, flavorful, savory, perfectly sweet and incredibly moist. And one would never suspect it is gluten free with spinach and bananas in it!
Are you over sweets yet? I hope not!
“Healthy Bundt Cake, meet my friends! Friends, allow me to introduce you to Healthy Bundt Cake recipe!”
This is the perfect dessert to have on hand for an after school snack. It would also be great for entertaining or taking along to parties! Or if you are like our family, we sometimes eat my “desserts” and bars for a sweet breakfast morning served with a cup of coffee or tea.
This cake is made in about 40 minutes with 10 minutes to cool. And would also be perfect served with a scoop of ice cream on the side!
It gets its sweetness from both maple syrup and bananas and a few chocolate chips in the mix. This Healthy Chocolate Bundt Cake is bursting with moist chocolaty flavor and is absolutely perfect shared with a friend!

Well you get a big gluten-free-vegan hug from me! Now I need to just buy a bundt pan 😉
Thanks for the hug Rebecca! Tag me on Instagram at #delightfulmomfood when you make it!
Looks like an amazing cake!
Wow! This is my kind of chocolate cake! Very chocolatey, but not too rich or sweet. It’s almost like eating a chocolate muffin. I am new to all this “healthy” cooking and eating, as I just found out my digestive issues are due to allergies and intolerances. Your site has become my FAVORITE “go to” website for recipes! I have tried and thrown out sooo many other recipes. It has been very discouraging, as the ingredients are so much more costly. I had pretty much figured I had to give up flavor to follow this new way of eating. Your recipes are proving that theory wrong! Even the rest of my family is enjoying them! Thank you for all your time and effort you have put into this and for sharing your recipes with all of us. ????
Thank you so much for commenting and I am thrilled you and your family are enjoying my recipes!
