Caramelized Banana Oat Cake
Full Recipe
- SERVES:8
- TOTAL TIME: 45 MIN + cooling time
INGREDIENTS
Caramel Base:
1/3 cup butter, or coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut sugar
Small splash pure vanilla extract
pinch salt
2 ripe bananas, cut in half lengthways
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Cake:
2 bananas, mashed
1/3 cup coconut sugar or your go-to sweetener
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 + 2 tbs cup milk, I used coconut milk, any will work
1 1/2 cups oat flour (make your own by grinding down oats in a blender)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350.
Start by making the caramel base. Heat a round oven-safe skillet, like a cast iron, over medium heat then add the butter and allow to melt. Add in the coconut sugar and whisk to combine. The sugar will take a little bit to melt and combine with the butter. Mix in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt and ensure everything is even.
Tuck the bananas in the caramel sauce and sprinkle over the chopped walnuts
Keep the caramel in pan and set aside or keep on very low heat so it stays together. In a bowl, add all the wet ingredients and combine well. The banana, sugar, eggs, melted butter or oil, vanilla extract and milk.
For the dry ingredients, I like to add them all to a blender as I will do this to make the oat flour. If you are not using oat flour, make sure the dry ingredients are mixed together really well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and fold together to combine until there are no lumps, avoiding over mixing.
Pour the cake batter over the caramel, banana, walnut base and even out. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until cooked through.
Allow the cake to cool completely, for at least 1 hour, then flip the the cake over by placing a plate over top of the pan and flipping upside down so it lands caramel side up on the plate. Enjoy right away and store leftovers in the fridge. Enjoy!!
