Ingredients
2 ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats (oat flakes)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Place the bananas in a mixing bowl and mash them until smooth and creamy.
Add the rolled oats and cocoa powder, stirring until all the ingredients are well combined.
Let the mixture rest for 2–3 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture.
Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan and heat it over low heat.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bottom is firm and cooked through.
Carefully flip the cake and cook for another 5–7 minutes on the other side.
Transfer to a plate and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Optional Toppings
Fresh banana slices
Strawberries or blueberries
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Melted dark chocolate
Chopped nuts or shredded coconut
Tips for the Best Texture
Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum sweetness.
Blend the ingredients for a smoother, more cake-like consistency.
Cook over low heat to ensure the center cooks evenly without burning the outside.
