Variations

**Gluten-Free Version** 🌾🚫: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that your oat flour is certified gluten-free to avoid any issues. Follow the same steps and enjoy a wonderful gluten-free treat! **Vegan Version** 🌱: Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tbsp water per egg). Instead of dark chocolate, use a dairy-free chocolate option. Substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil for a richer flavor. With these simple swaps, you can enjoy a fully vegan banana-chocolate cake! 🌟🍌

Faq

  • What can I use instead of oat flour?

    If you don’t have oat flour, you can use more all-purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly different.

  • Do I need to refrigerate the cake?

    It's best to store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week.

  • Can I add nuts to the batter?

    Absolutely! Adding chopped walnuts or pecans can give the cake a delicious crunchy texture.

  • Is it possible to use whole wheat flour instead?

    Yes, whole wheat flour can be used, but the cake might be denser. You may want to mix it with all-purpose flour for a lighter texture.

  • What can I do if my cake turns out too dry?

    Ensure your bananas are very ripe and your oven temperature is accurate. Consider adding a bit more oil next time for added moisture.

  • Can I freeze the cake?

    Yes, you can freeze this cake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.
