Gather Your Ingredients:

Ripe bananas
Oats
Wheat flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)

Sugar or sugar substitute (or honey for a natural sweetener)
Egg (or applesauce or mashed bananas for an egg substitute)
Chocolate chips (optional, or nuts or dried fruits as alternatives)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep a cake pan by greasing it or using parchment paper.
Mix the wet ingredients in a bowl: mashed ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, sugar or sugar substitute, and egg. Mix until smooth.
If using oats, pulse them in a food processor. Then, combine with flour in a separate bowl.
Add the dry mix to the wet mix slowly, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix.
For extra flavor, gently mix in chocolate chips or your choice of nuts and dried fruit.
Pour the batter into your cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan. Then, cool it completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Serving and Storing Banana Bread Cake Leftovers

Have some banana bread cake left over? No worries, there are lots of tasty ways to eat it. For a fun twist, try making banana bread French toast. Just dip a slice in beaten eggs and milk, then fry in a buttered pan. Top with syrup or powdered sugar for a special breakfast.

Or, warm a slice and add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combo of warm, moist cake with cool, creamy ice cream is like heaven. It’s a perfect, sweet treat after any meal.

For a healthy choice, blend a slice with milk or yogurt for a smoothie. This drink is creamy, tasty, and makes a great snack. You can throw in spinach or protein powder for extra benefits.

To keep your banana bread cake fresh, wrap it in plastic and leave it out for a few days. For longer, up to a week, keep it in the fridge in a sealed container. Freezing it lets you enjoy it later. Slice, wrap, and freeze the slices. Then, thaw to room temp for a delicious snack.
