Banana Oat Loaf Cake. Banana Oats Loaf Cake is a nutrient and fibre rich cake. It is healthier cake which can be a great breakfast or a healthy snack for kids tiffin box or after school snacks. It is also a perfect tea time cake.
This is a rather unusually-flavored, but very good, cake.
I think it would work well for bridal or baby showers--a good change from plain yellow or chocolate cake.
The batter in this may seem runny, but that's how it's supposed to be before you put it in the oven!

Banana Oat Loaf Cake step by step
- Preheat oven to 350F or 170C. Lightly grease your tin with coconut oil (any oil that you have used)..
- In a bowl mix mashed bananas, milk, oil, vanilla extract and sugar either by hand or mixer on medium speed..
- In a separate bowl mix flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt..
- Add the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, slowly until just combined with rubber spatula. Don't over mix the batter. Mix in the vinegar after this..
- Transfer the batter into your container (loaf or muffin moulds). Sprinkle some oats on top of it with some brown sugar for presentation. Bake for 25-30 minutes or till your knife or toothpick comes out clean (mine were done in 20 minutes so keep a check)..
Add in the mashed banana and Greek yogurt, stirring until no large lumps of yogurt remain. I also used old fashioned oats in place of the quick rolled oats, and soaked them in the milk and applesauce while assembling the other ingredients (adding the oat mix with the whole raisins). Cream together the margarine and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until fluffy. Sieve together the flour, oats, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cinnamon.
