Ingredients

For topping:

Peel 2 ripe bananas and break them into smaller pieces.

The riper the bananas are, the sweeter and softer the finished cake will be.

Place the bananas and 2 eggs into the blender.

Add the oats, cocoa powder, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and a small pinch of salt.

You can also add baking powder if you want the cake to rise a little more.

Blend until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and chocolatey.

A few tiny nut pieces can remain in the batter for extra texture.

Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin.

Pour in the chocolate batter and smooth the top.

Sprinkle generously with chocolate chips, chopped pistachios, walnuts, and sliced almonds.

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.

Bake for around 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set but still soft.

Start checking around the 20-minute mark because baking time can vary depending on the size of your dish.

Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Break the cake open while it’s still slightly warm.

The inside should be soft and moist, with melted chocolate and crunchy pieces of nuts throughout.

The banana adds natural sweetness, while the cocoa gives it a rich chocolate flavor.

Serve it warm on its own, or add a spoonful of Greek yogurt, peanut butter, or a little extra melted chocolate on top.
