Chocolate Banana Oat Bake

This “Classic Dessert” with a healthy twist creates a dense, fudgy cake that feels incredibly indulgent while using wholesome ingredients. By blending oats and bananas, you achieve a moist texture that pairs perfectly with a rich chocolate finish.

Ingredients

  • 150g oatmeal

  • 250ml milk

  • 2 bananas

  • 2 eggs

  • 40g sugar (or other sweetener, optional)

  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • Dark chocolate (1 bar or as needed for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Place the 150g oatmeal in a blender and pulse until it reaches a fine, flour-like consistency.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the 2 bananas until smooth. Whisk in the 2 eggs, 250ml milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

  3. Combine: Add the blended oat flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 40g sweetener, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until the batter is well-combined and smooth.

  4. Add Chocolate: Roughly chop your dark chocolate bar. You can stir half of it into the batter and save the rest for the top, or simply sprinkle it all over the surface before baking.

  5. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Bake at 180°C for approximately 35–40 minutes. The bake is ready when the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the dish to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. The texture will continue to firm up as it cools, resulting in a perfect brownie-like consistency.

Cooking Tip

For the best results, use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots; they provide the most natural sweetness and the best texture for this flourless bake.
