Oat, Banana, and Zucchini Cake:

Updated on 2 min read

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup oats (ground into flour)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3 cups grated zucchini
  • Eggs (quantity as per preference or recipe adjustment)
  • ½ cup honey or crushed dates
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Oats:
    If you haven’t bought oat flour, you can easily make it at home by grinding 1 cup of oats in a blender or food processor until it becomes a fine powder. Set this aside.
  3. Mash the Bananas:
    In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. This will provide natural sweetness and moisture to the cake.
  4. Grate the Zucchini:
    Grate the 2 cups of zucchini and 3 cups of zucchini. Once grated, place the zucchini into a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In the bowl with the mashed bananas, add the eggs, ½ cup honey (or crushed dates), and stir until all ingredients are well mixed and smooth.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients:
    To the wet ingredients, add the ground oat flour, grated zucchini, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter.
  7. Optional Add-ins:
    For extra flavor and texture, mix in optional ingredients like walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or dark chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the Batter:
    Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
  9. Bake the Cake:
    Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve:
    Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve:
    Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. Enjoy a healthy and delicious slice!

Notes:

  • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can refrigerate it for longer shelf life.
  • Variation Ideas: You can experiment by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits of your choice to personalize this recipe further.
