🍌 Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
- 3 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
- 2 eggs (for binding and moisture)
- 100g rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick)
- 25g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 5g (1 tsp) baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- A pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)
- Optional:
- Banana slices or chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans) for decoration
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or cinnamon for added depth
🧁 Method
🔧 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line a small loaf tin or cake pan.
- Blend the bananas in a food processor or mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Add eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in cocoa powder, oats, baking powder (if using), and salt. Blend again or mix by hand until well combined.
- Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes. The oats will absorb moisture and thicken naturally.
- Pour the batter into your prepared tin. Top with banana slices or chopped nuts if desired.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Best served warm—or chilled from the fridge the next day!
