Cake with Oat Flakes

The cake with oat flakes is a very quick, aromatic, and delicious dessert without flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and yeast and also gluten-free (and if you use maple syrup instead of honey, also vegan!). Many of you have asked me to prepare a breakfast dessert without these ingredients and possibly also “fit” and protein-rich, so here you go. The cake with oat flakes is prepared in 5 minutes with 5 ingredients and is soft, tasty, and nutritious, with bananas, peanut butter, honey, and dark chocolate chips, perfect for a healthy breakfast that satisfies and energizes you, ideal also as a snack and for kids and adults alike!

  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Cost: Cheap
  • Preparation time: 5 Minutes
  • Portions: 22 cm mold
  • Cooking methods: Oven, Electric oven, Air fryer
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 14 oz oat flakes
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 7 oz bananas (2)
  • 3.5 oz honey
  • 3.5 oz chocolate chips

Steps

  • The cake with oat flakes is very simple and quick to prepare. First, peel the bananas and mash them with a fork until they are pureed.

  • Combine the honey, peanut butter, and give a good mix, then add the oat flakes and dark chocolate chips, and mix all the ingredients well.

  • Transfer the mixture into a baking tin lined with parchment paper and level it well, place more chocolate chips on top if you like (I took some from the total), and bake the cake with oat flakes in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes. It will be ready as soon as the edges of the cake turn golden.

  • Take the cake with oat flakes out of the oven, let it cool, cut it into pieces, and serve it.

Note:

The cake with oat flakes can be stored at room temperature for 3/4 days. You can use the honey you prefer; I chose wildflower honey. You can also replace it with maple syrup. Instead of peanut butter, you can use another nut spread (preferably just nuts).
