A Friendly Note on Health Claims

While this cake is packed with amazing whole-food ingredients like fiber-rich oats and potassium-filled bananas, it’s important to be mindful of “fat loss” claims. Losing 2 kg of body fat typically requires a consistent caloric deficit over time rather than one specific food. However, swapping processed flour and sugar for this recipe is a fantastic way to reduce inflammation and stay full longer!
