Easy One Bowl Banana Cake {updated recipe}

Updated Recipe

There is nothing like a one bowl wonder - a decadent delight that requires minimal equipment and minimal time! The ingredients for this scrumptious, hearty bread begin with three overripe bananas and then combined with strawberry gum and cinnamon myrtle, you have something that is a little sweet with a eucalyptus touch.

To sweeten things up a bit more we have added a little maple syrup (or honey if you don't have) and brown sugar. 

3 medium ripe bananas – or 2 large

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 whole eggs, at room temperature

2 tbsp coconut oil 

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup desiccated coconut

3 Tbsp maple syrup

1/4 cup almond milk – or milk of your choice

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp strawberry gum

1 teaspoon cinnamon myrtle

1  cup plain flour

1 cup oats

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mash banana in a large bowl with a fork. Add vanilla, egg, oil, sugar, maple syrup, baking powder, coconut, cinnamon and almond milk, whisking vigorously to combine. Add the flour, oats, strawberry gum and cinnamon myrtle and mix to combine.  

Bake for 45-60 minutes. When ready, it should feel firm and be crackly and golden brown on top.

Let cool completely before cutting or it will be too tender to hold form.

Serve with butter and honey or as is. Store leftovers in a covered container for up to two days. Slice and freeze each serve for longer term storage or special lunch box treats.

I made this cake this weekend, and it was delicious, however, following the recipe was a bit of a nightmare. I am just a home cook so I don’t make any guesses when I follow a recipe, but I found this one a bit of a guessing game. I could follow the wet ingredients all mixed together, and then the flour oats and almond milk……..that is when I realised I still had the sugar, coconut, baking powder and a few other spices to add…..! Not sure where they should have been added. I appreciate the fact that you have the recipes, and without those I would not have bought your product, simply because I would not know how to use them, and I do want to do them justice.

Keen to make this recipe. Just checking, how much almond milk?
Thank you 😊

Deb

The banana cake recipe mentions almond milk in the method but it doesn’t appear in the ingredients list. How much is required please?

Debra Flower

Your banana cake recipes mention almond milk in the method but it is not on the ingredients list so how much almond milk needed for this cake ?
Thanks

Sounds like a delicious cake but how much almond milk is in it? It’s not listed in the recipe, only the method.
Thanks
