This cake is a delicious option for those seeking wheat-free recipes who still want to enjoy an irresistible treat.
Ingredients for the Banana Cake:
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar or demerara sugar
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How to make Banana Cake:
- Start by mashing the bananas in a large bowl. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your cake will be.
- Add the eggs and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the sugar and mix until dissolved.
- Add the quick oats, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the mixture. Stir until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan, ideally 7 inches (approx. 18cm) in diameter.
- If you like, decorate the top of the cake with banana slices, a sprinkle of sugar, and cinnamon.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Pro Tip:
It is normal for the toothpick to come out slightly moist because of the fruit in the batter. If you notice the cake is firm and the toothpick comes out with just a little moisture, it is ready. Avoid leaving it in the oven for too long to prevent it from drying out.
