This banana and chocolate chip cake is ultra easy. It is one of my recipes made in a place where I had no recipe book or access to recipes and not enough flour. I have used some oat flakes, it makes the banana cake much lighter. For the chocolate chip, I recommend using a good cooking chocolate and cutting it roughly with a large knife.
This recipe is appreciated by all, kids love it, adults too! You can choose to omit the chocolate or swap for dry cranberries for example.
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 3 eggs
- 100 g butter
- 180 g plain flour
- 3 generous tablespoon of instant oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 75 g cooking chocolate cut in pieces
- 100 g white sugar
Method:
- Preheat the oven at 180°C.
- Butter and flour a log cake tin
- Mix together the sugar, eggs and melted butter
- Puree the bananas and add them to the mix
- Add in one go, the oats, flour, baking powder and chocolate and mix.
- Pour into the tin. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out slightly moist (not wet!). If your oven is strong reduce to 160 degrees to avoid burning the top of the cake.
- Remove from the oven and turn over a cooling rack to cool down.
