Ingredients
1 large egg
180 g Greek yogurt
1 ripe banana (about 100 g) or ½ cup applesauce
80 ml maple syrup or honey
150 g oat flour or preferred flour
50 g almond flour or additional oat flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
⅙ tsp salt
60 ml milk of choice
Optional Ingredients:
50 g dark or extra dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a 20 cm cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the banana. Add Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add oat flour, almond flour, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir while gradually pouring in the milk until fully combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Applesauce can be used instead of banana for a milder flavor.
Use extra oat flour if you prefer a nut-free version.
Dark chocolate chips add extra richness without making the cake overly sweet.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
