Healthy No-Flour Chocolate Oat Cake

Ingredients

120 g (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) Oat Flakes: Rolled or quick oats.

200 ml (5/6 cup) Hot Milk: Can be dairy or plant-based (like almond or soy).

2 Eggs

2 Ripe Bananas: Mashed (this provides the “no sugar” sweetness).

40 g (1/3 cup) Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened.

1 tsp Baking Powder

Topping: Dark chocolate chips or crushed walnuts (as seen in the image).

Preparation Method

1. Soak the Oats: Place the oat flakes in a bowl and pour the hot milk over them. Let them sit for about 10–15 minutes until the oats soften and absorb most of the liquid.

2. Mash and Mix: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Whisk in the 2 eggs.

3. Combine: Add the soaked oats to the banana and egg mixture. Stir well.

4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix until the batter is consistent and dark brown.

5. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Sprinkle walnuts or chocolate chips on top if desired.

6. Cook: Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes.

7. Finish: Once cooled, you can drizzle a little melted dark chocolate over the top as shown in the image for an extra rich look.
