Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (separated OR substitute nuts)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper -- otherwise your cake will likely not come out clean.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the bananas, egg, vanilla, and coconut oil (measured when completely melted). Stir until completely combined.
  • Add in the cornstarch, baking powder baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice if desired.. Stir until completely combined. (Here's where you can increase or decrease spices to personal preference -- if you are wary of too much spice add a little less and if you LOVE spice increase them.)
  • Stir in the brown sugar and oat flour (blend regular old fashioned oats or quick oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble flour -- blend well so you don't have any weird oat chunks! Measure AFTER blending and not before).
  • Stir in chocolate chips or nuts
  • Bake for 25-30 mins at 350 degrees or until a fork when inserted comes out clean. Be careful to not over bake as it will make this cake less tender and less flavorful. Allow to cool.
