Mini Banana Cake with Walnuts for Kids

This is a recipe for Mini Banana Cake with Walnuts for Kids. The credit goes to my 4-year-old daughter, Danika.  She did everything with a little help from her mom and some kitchen equipment. This is a fun way to bond with the little ones. It also helps them develop self confidence and learn new things.

Ideally, it will be more convenient if you have a stand mixer around because your kids can just easily drop the ingredients one-by-one while the mixer does the work. However, this can also be done manually using a wire whisk.

We used a rectangular baking cup so that it will resemble a small cake. You can also use regular cupcake or muffin cups and arrange it in a muffin pan just like how you do with banana muffins. Technically, these are banana muffins anyway 🙂

This can be served during snack time and it can also be eaten as a dessert; you might want to squeeze some whip cream on top. The kids will love it more.
