Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

½ cup almond flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Wet Ingredients:

2 large ripe bananas (mashed)
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
2 eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
⅓ cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Toppings (Optional but Recommended):

1 banana, sliced (for decoration)
¼ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts
2 tablespoons almond flakes or shredded coconut

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix with maple syrup, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.

Step 4: Mix & Fold

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake fluffy.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Arrange banana slices on top and sprinkle with dark chocolate chips or nuts.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
