4-Ingredient Banana Baked Oatmeal Cake

Start your day with this delicious healthy breakfast idea: a 4-Ingredient Banana Baked Oatmeal Cake! This easy recipe is delicious, gluten-free and easily made vegan. You only need 4 ingredients for the base: bananas, oatmeal, coconut oil or butter and milk of choice. If you’re craving something sweet, this will also work as an easy healthy dessert recipe.

The 4 Ingredients

These are the 4 ingredients I used for my oatmeal cake:

• super ripe bananas: reduce food waste and use those rotten bananas to make this. The darker they are, the sweeter they’ll be.
• oats: I prefer to use quick oats, other types will yield a much chunkier texture
• milk: you can use any type of milk you like here – dairy or dairy-free both would work.
• Coconut oil or butter: I did not have coconut oil at the moment, so we used butter, but this would be perfect with some butter as well.

If you do have a huge sweet tooth, you might want to add in a tbsp of honey / maple syrup or another 1/2 of banana, because these did not taste super sweet.

How To Make Banana Baked Oatmeal Cake

This is a super simple process and you’re going to need a blender, an immersion blender or a hand blender. Here are the five easy steps:

• Put ingredients into the blender
• Blend

• Pour into baking pan/pans

• Add toppings of choice
• Bake for 20-30 minutes!

That is it! It’s so easy and so good!

Toppings

I decided to do something I’ve told myself I’d never do in the past: use chopped dark chocolate on a banana recipe. I’ve never liked that combination, but it was actually delicious. Here are some options:

• chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• chopped nuts/seeds
• fruit (strawberries, raspberries or bananas can work)
• almond or peanut butter after the baking is done
• or use whatever you like!

Options

So I used the three mini cake forms I bought three years ago, that somehow never made it in the oven until now. If you don’t have these, you can also use a regular springform pan or any smaller pan, just make sure to line it up with parchment paper, so you can easily get these out.
