Instructions
Start by preparing your strawberry sauce. Combine the strawberries, lemon juice, maple syrup and tapioca starch in a medium pot and turn on medium-low heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberry juices release and the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a loaf pan with non-stick spray. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, oil, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add in the cake mix and stir until combined and no dry spots remain. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes and toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. *Cook time will vary depending on your oven and shape of your loaf pan*
Let the cake cool completely before serving with fresh strawberry sauce and banana slices *optional*
