• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar, densely packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2-3 over-ripened bananas, mashed to make 3/4 cup
• 1/2 cup whole milk plain Greek Yogurt or full-fat buttermilk

Serving + Toppings:

• Popsicle sticks or wooden sticks
• Chocolate coating or glaze (can melt chocolate candy coating or melt chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil)
• Sprinkles
• Cinnamon sugar

Mini Bundt Cakes:

Preheat oven to 350˚F with oven rack in center of oven.  Prepare Geo Bundtlette Pan with baking spray that contains flour, and brush excess with a pastry brush to evenly coat the pan cavities.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter for about 2 minutes. Add the sugars and beat until pale and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla bean paste, and eggs, mixing for an additional 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer to its lowest speed and add mashed bananas. Add half of flour mixture, then yogurt/buttermilk, and finally the last of the flour mixture. Spoon the batter into your Geo Bundtlette cavities filling ¾ full, then tap the pan firmly several times on a cutting board or counter top to release bubbles. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into each cake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5-7 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Clean pan, prepare with baking spray and repeat with remaining batter. Makes about 10-12 cakelets.
