Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces (medium-sized) Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Stir until well-combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts (if using) for added crunch and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the banana oatmeal cake as is or topped with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
