The CAKE WITH BANANAS, CHOCOLATE, AND OAT FLAKES is a very soft and fragrant dessert with a slightly rustic appearance due to the addition of oat flakes but very nutritious and delicious.
It’s a perfect cake for breakfast or snack, naturally or accompanied by butter and jam with a cup of milk or coffee.
It’s similar to the American dessert banana bread, easy and quick to make, and allows us to use overripe bananas that we wouldn’t eat on their own.
It’s so good that one slice leads to another, now let’s discover the recipe!

Steps for the Cake with Bananas, Chocolate, and Oat Flakes
Peel the bananas, cut them into small pieces, and then mash them in a bowl with a fork until a puree forms.
In another bowl, beat the eggs well with the sugar, add the softened butter and banana puree, and mix well until the mixture is homogeneous. Gradually add the sifted flour and baking powder.
Continue mixing well with electric or hand whisks, adding the oat flakes and chopped dark chocolate or chips last.
When the batter is ready, pour it into a greased and floured 9-10 inch pan, sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar on top.
Place the pan in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) and bake for about 30-35 minutes on a fan setting.
Baking times also depend on your oven’s power. After 35 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the cake for another 5 minutes, then remove, let it cool slightly before taking it out of the pan.
Serve the sliced cake on a serving plate.
Storage and Tips
The cake keeps well in a cool place under a glass dome for 2 days if it’s not all gone before then.
The bananas need to be ripe, and you can replace the brown sugar with granulated sugar.
If you like cinnamon, you can flavor the cake and add it to the batter.
