Healthy Poppy Seed Cake (without Flour and Sugar)

Juicy, healthy poppy seed cake without flour and sugar, that is only sweetened with fruit. It contains healthy fats, a lot of nutrients and is really tasty and pleasantly tender. You can serve this poppy seed cake topped with some Greek yogurt and sprinkled with nuts or warm fruit sauce. Yummy!

This healthy poppy seed cake is juicy and fluffy, but don't let these qualities deceive you, it's also filling, rich in healthy fats and complex carbohydrates, making it a great choice for the beginning of the day. If you like poppy, then I believe that this recipe for an easy poppy seed flourless and sugar-free cake will become a staple in your dessert menu. Its foundation is formed by ground poppy seeds with oats and nuts. To sweeten the cake, use ripe bananas and dates. In addition to being really delicious, this dessert is also nutritionally valuable and rich in fiber. As little as 1 slice contains up to 45% RDA of manganese, 12% RDA of vitamin B6, 15% RDA of copper, 13% RDA of calcium and 10% RDA of iron. That's some titbit, isn't it? ;)

I recommend to let dates soak in warm water for at least 30 minutes before blending, making them easier to work with. I recommend to grind the poppy seed at home, thus not to buy ground poppy from the store, as it often has an unpleasantly bitter taste and doesn't preserve all the nutrients.
