This Churro Banana Bread Skillet Cake is the perfect easter or spring dessert and loved by all ages! Paleo, Grain Free and full of flavor, you would never know it's healthy!

Cake being served right in the skillet, what a fabulous time to be alive!!  This Churro Banana Bread Skillet Cake came from a place deep in my heart that loves ALL things coated in cinnamon sugar.  I think it was my years of eating cinnamon sugar on butter on toast growing up, or my desire to scarf cinnamon toast crunch whenever my mom would let us have it in the house.  I have always been a fan of cinnamon sugar pretzels too, because WHY NOT?  To sum up, sugar + cinnamon on bread = HEAVEN.  And in recent years with my clean eating habits I have been terrible to myself by not eating much cinnamon sugar anything.  Don’t get me started on the fact that we went to Disneyland during Whole30 and watched everyone else eat Churros.  SO I decided it was really ridiculous that I hadn’t had much of this goodness considering cinnamon is great for you and coconut sugar is a best friend of mine.  The two come together in this cake so beautifully!

The secret to this Churro Banana Bread Skillet Cake…

Cinnamon Chips!  Yep, I googled how to make cinnamon chips – (fyi it calls for corn syrup, white sugar, vegetable shortening and cinnamon) and I flipped the recipe my way – honey, coconut sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon and added vanilla too!   And what do ya know, DELICIOUS!! I made these chips then tossed them in my grain free banana bread recipe, cooked it in a skillet and topped it with more cinnamon coconut sugar for the best DANG cake you’ll ever have.
