Ingredients
1 large egg
180 grams (⅔ cup) Greek yogurt
1 ripe banana, about 100 grams (3.5 oz.), or ½ cup applesauce
80 ml (⅓ cup) maple syrup, or honey
150 grams (1 ½ cup) oat flour, or preferred flour
50 grams (½ cup) almond flour, or more oat flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
⅙ tsp salt
60 ml (¼ cup) milk of choice
**Optional Ingredients**
50 grams (¼ cup) chocolate chips, dark or extra dark
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, mashed ripe banana (or applesauce), maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, mix together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk of choice to the batter and mix until the consistency is smooth.
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for extra flavor and richness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based yogurt and milk.
For a gluten-free option, use oat and almond flours. Make sure the oat flour is certified gluten-free if necessary.
If you don’t have a banana, use applesauce or yogurt for extra creaminess.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice for a spiced version.
Fold in chopped walnuts or almonds for added texture.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
This cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly and store in an airtight container.
