🥣 Ingredients
For 1 medium banana oat cake (2–3 servings):
- 🍌 2 ripe bananas
- 🥚 1 large egg
- 🌾 ½ cup rolled oats (about 45 g)
- 🥜 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 🌰 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 🎃 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 🫒 1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil, for cooking
- 🍯 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 🌿 ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 🥛 1–2 tablespoons milk, only if needed
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mash the Bananas
Peel two ripe bananas and place them in a large glass mixing bowl.
Using a fork, mash the bananas until they become soft, creamy, and mostly smooth.
Tip: The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be!
Step 2: Add the Egg and Oats
Crack one egg directly into the mashed bananas.
Add ½ cup of rolled oats and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
The oats will absorb moisture from the bananas, creating a naturally thick batter.
Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes to soften the oats.
Step 3: Add the Crunchy Nuts
Now add your favorite nutritious toppings:
- Chopped walnuts for a rich, nutty flavor
- Chopped almonds for extra crunch
- Pumpkin seeds for a delicious texture
Sprinkle in cinnamon or add a little honey if desired.
Mix everything gently with a wooden spoon until the nuts are evenly distributed.
The batter should be thick, creamy, and slightly chunky.
Tip: If the mixture feels too thick, add a tablespoon of milk. If it’s too runny, add a little more rolled oats.
Step 4: Cook in a Frying Pan
Heat a small nonstick frying pan over low heat.
Lightly grease the surface with olive oil or coconut oil.
Pour the banana oat mixture directly into the center of the pan.
Using a spatula, gently spread the batter into a round cake approximately 1–1.5 cm thick.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for approximately 6–8 minutes, or until the bottom becomes golden brown and the top starts to set.
Carefully flip the cake using a wide spatula, then cook the other side for another 4–6 minutes, until golden and fully cooked.
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your cake and the heat of your pan.
Important: Keep the heat low so the cake cooks evenly without burning. The egg mixture should be completely set in the center.
Step 5: Slice and Enjoy!
Transfer your golden banana oat cake onto a clean serving plate.
Allow it to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
Cut into beautiful triangular pieces to reveal the soft banana interior filled with crunchy nuts and oats.
Serve warm for the best flavor!
