The Power of Oats in the Batter
Replacing traditional flour, we use rolled oats or oat flour. It helps control the recipe’s glycemic index, avoiding insulin spikes and keeping your satiety levels high for hours.
Carefully Selected Ingredients
- 3 very ripe Prata or Nanica bananas (the riper/more black spots, the sweeter the cake)
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 1/2 cups fine rolled oats or oat flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder (a must-have combination!)
- 1/2 cup raisins or 70% chocolate chips (optional, for a special touch)
- 1 tablespoon chemical baking powder
Preparation: Simple As It Should Be
Step 1: Practical Preparation In a blender, add 2 of the bananas, the 3 eggs, and the coconut oil. Blend very well until it becomes a homogeneous liquid. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon powder, and raisins (if using). Pour the liquid contents from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula until incorporated. Finally, add the baking powder and stir gently from the bottom up.
Step 2: Charming Assembly Grease a cake pan (preferably a loaf pan or a bundt pan) with a little coconut oil and sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour the batter into the pan. Take the remaining third banana, cut it into thin slices lengthwise, and place them on top of the batter to decorate. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon over everything.
Step 3: Oven and Fragrance Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 to 35 minutes. Do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, your cake is ready! Let it warm down before unmolding.
Master Tip: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter. The contrast of the cake’s fluffiness with the crunch of the walnuts elevates this simple recipe to another level!
