Flourless Banana Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)

Flourless Banana Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

• • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 egg

• • 50 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 70 g oatmeal (use gluten-free if necessary)
  • 5 g baking powder

• • 1 g salt
  • 2 g cinnamon
  • 20 g walnuts, chopped

Steps to Make Flourless Banana Oatmeal Cake

1. 1. Prepare the Oats:
      • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
      • In a blender or food processor, pulse the oats until they reach a flour-like consistency. This will create a smoother cake texture.

1. 1. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
      • In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg and milk, and whisk until well combined.
   2. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
      • • In a separate bowl, combine the ground oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the baking powder evenly.

   3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
      • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the cake dense.

1. 1. Add Walnuts:
      • Fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
   2. Bake the Cake:
      • • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
      • Sprinkle the reserved walnuts on top.
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. 1. Cool and Serve:
      • Let the cake cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
      • Slice and serve as is, or top with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
