Total time, 45 mins to 1 hour
Tools
Blender (or Food Processor)
Rubber Spatula (or Big Spoon)
Pie Dish, or Loaf Pan
Parchment Paper
Measuring Cups/Spoons
Oven
Toothpick
Ingredients
2 large ripe Bananas
2 large Eggs*
1 cup Milk (I used almond milk, but any milk will work)
1/2 cup of Oats
1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 cup of Sugar (I used monk fruit sweetener)**
1/2 tbs Baking Powder
1/2 tbs Baking Soda
1 tsp Instant Coffee***
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Salt
Topping(s)
I used Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt on top of mine. But recommended Toppings/Mix-ins include Nuts (Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, etc.), Chopped Fruit, Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter Cups, a Chocolate or Peanut Butter Glaze...go wild and make it your own!
Notes
* To make this recipe vegan, use Flax Eggs.
**Taste your batter after blending; if it’s too bitter, add more sugar to your preference.
***The Instant Coffee isn't essential, but it helps richen the chocolate flavor.
Steps
Preheat your Oven to 350F (180C) and line your Baking Dish with Parchment Paper. Alternatively, butter and dust the baking tin with a tbs of Cocoa Powder.
First, add the Oats to your Blender (or Food Processor) and blend until you have fine Oat Flour. About 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.

I accidentally added everything at once. This works, but making Oat flour first creates a better texture and makes blending easier.
Add all other ingredients, except your Toppings/Mix-ins, and blend until thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared Baking Dish, and scrape the Blender with a Rubber Spatula/Spoon; don’t leave any precious batter behind!
Add any Toppings/Mix-ins.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a Toothpick comes out clean.
